Poems (Baldwyn)/Lines to a young Friend

LINES TO A YOUNG FRIEND.

(Given with a picture of a young man crossing the Alps.)

Behold the youth who hastens on
 O'er Alpine heights and foaming streams,
But fixes all his hopes upon
 The goal of his fondest dreams.

So be thou blest amid life's storms;
 So high and upward be thy way;
Heaven shield thee safe from all alarms,
 And guide thee to eternal day.
