From the SoNNErs of CANYONS.
Since in this dresry vale of tears
No certainty but death appears,
Why should we waite our vernal years
In boarding afeefs creatures ?
No--let the young and ardent mind
Become the. friend of human kind,
And ih the gsnrous service find.
A fource of puter pesfares.
Better to live despised and poor,
Than guilt's eternal s,ings erdure;
The future fmilc of God fhall cure
The wound of earthly woes.
Vain world did we but rightly feel
Whatils thy treac erous charms conceal.
How would we love froa, thee TO ilcal
To Death-and fweet !eaof,i
