Classic Poem

This was written on the third day of September, 1795, by Sander Mack. His age is eighty-three years, eight months and four days.
Now have all the hours
Of my four and eighty years
Passed by and disappeared
As smoke is driven away
O Lord of all times,
Thou God of eternity,
Help me, through Christ's sorrows,
To eternal blessedness.
