POEMS.
Would'st learn the happiest way to live?
Thy ills forget, thy wrongs forgive;
Think on them as will one day seem
Thy whole of life—a checkered dream
In twenty years, ah! twenty years,
In less, perhaps, than twenty years.
Thy ills forget, thy wrongs forgive;
Think on them as will one day seem
Thy whole of life—a checkered dream
In twenty years, ah! twenty years,
In less, perhaps, than twenty years.
Our Father's home hath "no more sea;"
There mansion fair is waiting thee—
Thy bark e'en now the bright shore nears,
It moored may be in twenty years:
In twenty years, ah! twenty years,
In less, perhaps, than twenty years.
There mansion fair is waiting thee—
Thy bark e'en now the bright shore nears,
It moored may be in twenty years:
In twenty years, ah! twenty years,
In less, perhaps, than twenty years.
