PASSING AWAY.
BY MRS. HEMANS.
"'Passing away' is written on the world, and all the world contains."
It is written on the rose,
In its glory's full array;
Read what those buds disclose —
"Passing away."
It is written on the skies
Of the soft blue summer day;
It is traced in sunset's dyes—
"Passing away."
