1877 AND 1878 .

TIME comes with its fleeting hours , Time leaves us day by clay ; The songs of its festive bowers Are in the far away . And as the great River onward flows

Through human love and hate , We bid good-bye to Seventy-Seven , And welcome Seventy-Eight . In vain , old friend , you ' re grieving For all that ' s past and gone , Or that Life is full of trials

, And that you are left alone . Poor mortals all , we have to bend To the stern decrees of Fate , And as we welcomed Seventy-Seven We welcome Seventy-Eight .

As a speck in the dimmer distance , Like a memory of long years , We bethink us of soft hours sped Midst gentle snides or tears . While as the moments swiftly pass From us , in penury or state , We note the end of Seventy-Seven—The approach of Seventy-Eight .

Great mystery of Life and Time 1 Weird tale of our human race 1 In vain we seek to soothe thy spell By the power of Heaven ' s own Grace ! For all we say , or all we do , We cannot now abate

One jot of the burden of Seventy-Seven—The crosses of Seventy-Eight . Alas ! for us , as now we pine , Exiles , sojourning still , Far from the Golden River And the everlasting Hill 1

Life ' s seasons flourish and decay , We toil early , we rest late , But onward , onward went Seventy-Seven , As will also Seventy-Eight .
