REFLECTION.
REFLECTION cometh when too late,
On those who act in haste;
'Tis best to ponder o'er thy fate,
Before the danger's faced!
On those who act in haste;
'Tis best to ponder o'er thy fate,
Before the danger's faced!
For those who like a fiery steed,
To an unknown risk speed on;
Finds that the neck from rein ne'er freed,
The wished for goal has won!
To an unknown risk speed on;
Finds that the neck from rein ne'er freed,
The wished for goal has won!
And thus it is in life we find
The haughty sink to earth;
The lowly raised in God's good time,
High o'er their humble birth!
The haughty sink to earth;
The lowly raised in God's good time,
High o'er their humble birth!
