LINES WRITTEN IN AN ALBUM.
O that thy lot through life may be
As fair and stainless as this page,
May life’s rough stream be smooth to thee,
Though dark clouds low’r and tempests rage.
As fair and stainless as this page,
May life’s rough stream be smooth to thee,
Though dark clouds low’r and tempests rage.
And should life’s stream thus brightly run,
Like sunshine on the ocean’s wave,
Calm be the hour when thy bright sun
Shall set beneath the darkling grave.
Like sunshine on the ocean’s wave,
Calm be the hour when thy bright sun
Shall set beneath the darkling grave.
