A SCRAP.
How sweet and Sublime,
On the record Of time,
Is friendship united with love;
When the smile and the charm
Gently kept the heart warm,
Aud communion was mild as the dove.
When VIC look on days spent,
With plrasngcnnten', 5...
What Joy recollection will bring;
it warns the heart through
Brightens UP the pale hue,
And is welcomed BY peasant and king.
But, when brought to close,
Time must be 10 those
Who have misspent the days oftheir youth,
A sad hurthen to bear
Tho the portion and share
OF all who are void Of the truth.
To look on days past,
While our lite's ebbing fast,
A blush recollection will bring
Our conducts rod
In the hand of our God,
And conscience will wound with sting.

Her lattice through on Love was peeping,
Sweet Music paused in wand'ring by,
To list the Paphian plumcd one weeping

And Love, beneath sweet Mlsic's wing
Through Bcauty's portal softly glidcd!
