TIME STEALS OUR YEARS AWAY
t,Then time, who steals -:>ur years away,
Shall steal our pleaures t-:>o;
The memory of the past will stay,
And half -:>ur joys renew.
Then, Chl~e, when thy beauty's lower,
Shall fill the wintry air;
Re:nernbrance will recall the h:)ur,
When <:.hou alone \ert faj r.
Then talk no more of future gloom,
Our joys will always last;
F-:>r h0pe shall brighten days to come,
An(l memory gild the past.
Chloe, fill the genial b0wl,
I drink t0 love and thee;
Thou never canst decay in s0ul,
Th0u wilt otill be young t-:> me.
Ann as thy lips the tear (]r-:>p chase,
Which on my cr eck they find;
So h:)pe shall steal away the trace,
Which sorraw leaves behind..
Then f:Ul the bowl away with gloom,
0Ul' j-:>ys shall alwayp ta.st j
For h0pe shall brighten days to CYme,
.Pnd ·nernory gil0 the past.
Bnt mark, fit tl1')ught of futu""e years,
When l~ve shall lose its SJul;
My Crloe dr0ps her timid tears,
They mingle with my bovrl.
How like this bowl of vine my :fair,
Our l"ving l~fe sf1all fleet,
ThJugh tears may A-:>~etimes mingle there,
The dra-:..lgr' t will still be sweet.
