By the plimner attracted ofFortine's bright star;

Let the friends ofour youth still be cherished and

When the cares OF the world in sad heaviness press

When fresh sunbeams Of rapture have banished the
When gay circles are filing and kind friends are
near
When revei is high and the wine-cup is poured,
Let the friends OF youth be toast of tie board
When the winter Of lehas succeeded its spring,
And chill tims from the heart stolen many string
When our hopes decaying. our pleasures are few;
1t US turn to the joys our brighter days knew.
When retirement invites from the tolls of the day
When reflection exerts DER the bosom its sway,
And when solitude echoes the voice of the past,
Let the friends Of our youth blend with each to the

be fair,
TIN new friends may be kind, and new hearts may
be dear:
Tho new gladness may crown us, new blessings
may ial e
Yet will nose o. our youth be dearest Of all.
