Lesson:

1. We are but minutes—little things!


Each one furnished with sixty wings,


With which we fly on our unseen track,


And not a minute ever comes back.





2. We are but minutes; use us well,


For how we are used we must one day tell.


Who uses minutes, has hours to use;


Who loses minutes, whole years must lose.
