“Ay, soon upon the stage of life,
Sweet, happy children, you will rise,
To mingle in its care and strife,
Or early find the peaceful skies.

The golden moments, quick to haste
Some noble work of love to do,
Nor suffer one bright hour to waste.”

Daniel Clement Colesworthy (1810–1893) American writer
