O Friend! 'Tis time that fails! 'Tis time that lies -
And measures all with ne'er a thought for beauty,
Truth and all that springs from love and duty,
Honor, hope and all that's seen through honest eyes.
'Tis time that marks not greetings but good-byes -
Blind to kindness, lame yet resolutely
Hails the loss and pain of temp'ral booty,
Accumulated while some friend or lover dies.
O Friend! 'Tis life and lives Life celebrates!
'Twixt turnings of the glass, our brazen dance
And all that parts us from the brindled Fates,
Shouts, Glory! Ever Glory! Life's advance.
  'Tis time that fails! Whilst Life, unshackled, sings,
  Along the giddy path whence Freedom rings.
