As onward from the spot I haste, One lingering look behind I east, A wave came rolling high and fist, And washed my line away. And so, methought, 'twill quickly be, 1 ith every mark on earth of me; Ai wave of dark oblivion's sea Will sweep across the place \\,here I have trod the sandy shore Of time, and been to me no imore Of,me, my day, the name I bore, To leave no track or trace. .And yet, with Him who counts the sands And holds the water in His hands, I know a lasting record stands Inscribed against my name, Of all this mortal part has wrought, Of all this waking soul has thought, An' from these fleeting moments caught For glory or for shame.
