They say Art is long, and they say very true;
But so, by-the-way, is Eternity, too!
No study to-day gets our effort and love,
But has its completion in text-books above;
No work over which the clouds struggle and beat,
But finished may be, with the clouds neath our feet;
Then with eyes upon Earth, but with hearts forward cast,
We will thank happy Heaven for our march through the past!
