O God, the Rock of Ages (1860 hymn)

Our years are like the shadows
on sunny hills that lie,
or grasses in the meadows
that blossom but to die;
a sleep, a dream, a story
by strangers quickly told,
and unremaining glory
of things that soon are old. (Verse 2)

Jane of Lantern Hill, chapter 9 (“years like shadows on sunny hills that lie”).
