From Agnes Lloyd's Scrap-Book)
Oh. seek not comfort from the Wine
In this thy bitter grief.
The mantling juices q the vins
Can yield thee no relief.
Nor seek. in thy extreme dlstress
Oblivion from the bowl
Thou shalt not there remember less
Thy agony Of Soul.
oh. seek not IN this trolblous hour
The Gamblers cursed den:
For once within his balefu power
And farewell virtue then;
Nor TO the unholy. fsverish heat
That gathers there incline.
II thou woud'st not the Wild. hot beaJ
OF a maddened pulse were thine.
Oh. look not In gay pleasures lair
In such u time as this:
Tho blaze tho beauty. song. are there
But not consoling bliss.
Nor In the bathrooms witching wiles,
Nor place of glee have part
For there thy artificial smiles
Would veil broken heart
Thy hopes are dark-across the land
God hath His Shadow thrown
Yet who'll rebuke the righteous hand
That touches but its own?
From Him come Judgments on our path,
From Him this grievous blow:
Yet rains not from Ills stores OF wrath
Mans self-iniiicted woe.
Submit There's sweetness In the thought
That He I'm love doth chide:
For avaricc He this III hath wrought.
Perhaps for foolish pride.
Yet this. and more that Heaven can bring
'Twere easier To bear.
Than that which from rcmorse dotl
spring.
The souls unmiXed despair.
