BY THE GAILY-CIRCLING GLASS, by                    
Last Line: Sons of care 'twas made for you!
Subject(s): Aging


By the gaily-circling glass
We can see how minutes pass;
by the hollow cask, are told
How the waning night grows old.

Soon, too soon, the busy day,
Drives us from our sport away:
What have we with day to do?
Sons of care 'twas made for you!
