Classic and Contemporary Poetry

BY THE GAILY-CIRCLING GLASS by JOHN DALTON

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!
