Since myrtics grew, and roses blew,
And morning brought the sun
But have care We young and fair
Be sure we pledge with truth,
BE certain that your love will wear

And "built upon the sand
'Tis we'll to save. 'tis well TO have
A goodly store e.of gold,
And hold enough Of the shining s$utT,
For charity is cold
But place not all your hopes and trust
In what the deep min" brings;
We cannot live on yellow dust,
unmixed with purer things.
And he who piles up wealth alo.e,

Beside his Golfer. chest, and own

" And soothe whereer we eau;
Fair speech shou!d bind the human mind
And love link man to man.
But stay not Mt gentle words.
Let deeds with language dwell,

Should scatter crumbs as well.
Tho mercy that is warm and true.
