I stood on
the shore,
The waves
washed my feet.
The sand
from under,
It did
deplete.
A song they
sung,
Out to my
soul,
That said
those grains they are a slipping,
Gently away.
Make the
most of it,
They do go
asunder,
Those
grains of sand, they are slipping away,
Ne’er to
return, ever will they.
This tune,
they sung,
A joy, a
sorrow, a thought
In threes
and fours a tune so rich.
On those
shores I stood,
Those grains
slipping away,
Hold still
that thought.
Lest that
moment, it passes away.
