By a young lady in the country, about 15 years old.
O fleeting time! cease to delay, 
Cut short the hours of lingering day;
My towering soul, in raptures wrought, 
Dissolves in extacies of thought.
. . . [6 verses, the last ending with]
And think eternity, tho' long, 
Too short to warble all my song.
