A ferryman weeps at the passing of time.
No more shall the hustle of feet fill his dock.
His worth is now waning in industry's prime;

Walking on water, the wayfarers mock-
His emptying vessel, alone on the bank,
Till memories spun with the turn of the clock,
And the ferryman's boat, to nothingness sank.
