As drifting logs of wood


As drifting logs of wood may haply meet On ocean’s waters surging to and fro, And having met, drift once again apart, So, fleeting is the intercourse of men. E’en as a traveler meeting with the shade Of some o’erhung tree, awhile reposes, Then leaves its shelter to pursue his ways, So men meet friends, then part with them for ever.
