Heavenly Treasure.


What l gave l have!
old Epitaph
Every coin of earthly treasure
We have lavished upon the earth.
For our simple worldly pleasure.
May be reckoned something worth:
For the spending was not losing
Though the purchase were but small:
It has persisted with the using;
We have had it-that is all!
All the gold We leave behind us
When we turn to dust again,
Though our avarice may blind US,
We have gathered quite in vain:
Since we neither can direct it.
BY the winds Of fortune tossed.
Nor In other worlds expect It,
What we boarded We have lost!
But each merciful oblation.
Seed OF pity wisely sown-
What we give in self-negatien
We may safely call our own:
For the treasure freely given
Is the treasure that we hoard,
SINCE the angels keep. In heaven.
What IL lent until the Lord!
