Conservatism.So soon the lovely flowerets droop away! It seems but one brief day From summer bloom to winter's frozen blast. The years go by so fast! And one by one our loved ones pass away. Life, health and hope today___ Tomorrow comes grim death's cold bitter blast. Come while the bloom is on, Store well thy heart with virtue's richest treasure. Conserve life's purest pleasure, Then wear her jewels e'er the lustre's gone. __Colfax Burgoyne Harman |
