LESSON 65 TIME FLIES
TIME FLIES
sec-onds strength run-ning
min-utes twelve fas-ten
Sixty seconds make a minute,
So my father used to say:
What you've got to do, begin it,
Or 'twill not be done to-day:
For so fast the seconds fly,
You can't catch one—nor can I.
Sixty minutes make an hour,
So my mother used to tell:
While you've got the strength and power,
Do your work and do it well;
Or at night you'll have to say,
"I've done nothing all the day."
Twelve fast hours make the daytime,
So, my child, I say to you:
Some is work-time, some is play-time;
Do what you have got to do;
For though fast you run down hill,
Time is running faster still.
