THE LIFE-CLOCK.

There is a little mystic clock,
No human eye hath seen,
That beateth on,—and beateth on,—
From morning until e’en.

And when the soul is wrapped in sleep,
All silent and alone,
It ticks and ticks the livelong night,
And never runneth down.

Oh! wondrous is that work of art,
Which knells the passing hour;
But art ne’er formed, nor mind conceived,
The life-clock’s magic power.
