The poor Inhabitant below Was quick to learn and wise to know, And keenly felt the friendly glow, And softer flame, But thoughtless follies laid him low, And stain'd his name ! Reader, attend — whether thy soul Soars fancy's flights beyond the pole, Or darkling grubs this earthly hole, In low pursuit ;...
الصفحة 52 - And decks the lily fair in flow'ry pride. Would, in the way His wisdom sees the best, For them and for their little ones provide ; But, chiefly, in their hearts with Grace Divine preside.
