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!
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!
And thus it is in life we findThe haughty sink to earth;The lowly raised in God's good time,High o'er their humble birth!
