William Edward Hartpole Leky 1838-1903 John Bartlett

 
1
    Whence has come thy lasting power.
          On an old Song.
2
    The stately ship is seen no more,
The fragile skiff attains the shore;
And while the great and wise decay,
And all their trophies pass away,
Some sudden thought, some careless rhyme,
Still floats above the wrecks of Time.
          On an old Song.
