There Falls With Every Wedding Chime

by (1775–1864)

Listen in the reader

There falls with every wedding chime A feather from the wing of Time. You pick it up, and say 'How fair To look upon its colors are!' Another drops day after day                Unheeded; not one word you say. When bright and dusky are blown past, Upon the hearse there nods the last.
