The Hour-Glass

Title:     The Hour-Glass
Author: William Lisle Bowles [More Titles by Bowles]

As by my mother's side I stand,
Whose hairs, alas, are few and gray,
I watch the hour-glass shed its sand,
To mark how wears the night away.

Though age must many ills endure,
As time for ever runs away,
This shows her Christian comforts sure,
And leads to heaven's eternal day.

[The end]
William Lisle Bowles's poem: Hour-Glass
