- FF / 1 / Oh couldst thou read the book of fate / And see of what a fleeting span- / Of what a brief uncertain date--- / Doth there appear the life of man / 2 / Moulded from dust to dust / Like lovely roses we decay---- For life is rapid in its wane-- / And time will not one moment stay / Caroline M.
