First take feather and lay it upon
The stream that is ripping by;
With the current behold !sin moment 'tis gone
Unmpressive and light as sigh;
Then take thee clear and precious stone,
And on the same stream place iii;
o.! mark how the water on which it is thrown.
In its bosom will quckly encaseit!
Or take crystal, or stainless glass,
With crayon upon it then trace
A sentence, or line, and watch how twill pass
A breath will its beauty efface;
Then take diamond, as pure as'tis bright
"A nd write some modest token; {
,TIid heat or cold. in shade or in light, FL.
Twill last till the crystal is broken,
And thus with the tablet of woman's heart,
Where the vain and the idle may try
To i ave their Impressions, they swiftly depart,
Like thefeather, the scroll, and the Oh; u,
But once be inscribed on that tablet name,
And Image Of genius and worth,
Through the changes of life,t will still be the
same,
Till that heart is removed from the earth.
