"We saw Time's varied traces Were deep on……" — Eliza R. Snow

We saw Time's varied traces Were deep on every hand - Indeed,… - Eliza R. Snow

"We saw Time's varied traces Were deep on every hand - Indeed, upon the people, More marked than on the land. The bands that once with firmness Could grasp the axe and blade, Now move with trembling motion, By strength of nerve decayed. The change in form and feature And furrows on the cheek Of Time's increasing volume, In plain, round numbers speak. And thus, as in a mirror's Reflection, we were told, With stereotyped impressions, The fact of growing old."
