UNCHANGING by FRIEDRICH MARTIN VON BODENSTEDT

First Line: IN EARLY DAYS METHOUGHT THAT ALL MUST LAST
Last Line: BECAUSE THE OLD IN NEW I STILL AM MEETING.
Subject(s): CONSOLATION;

In early days methought that all must last;
Then I beheld all changing, dying fleeting;
But though my soul now grieves for much that's past,
And changeful fortunes set my heart oft beating,
I yet believe in mind that all will last,
Because the old in new I still am meeting.
