The Rural Magazine, and Literary Evening Fire-Side, Vol. 1 No. 10 (1820)
Part 7
Swift each passing year rolls on; Still contentment glads his mind; Soon each passing year is gone-- Gone, nor leaves a track behind.
Then alike fond memory's powers Pleasures long since past, review; Lead him back to youth's bright hours, And each blissful scene renew.
