A TRUE LENT.

Is this fast-to keep
The larder lean,
And clean,
From fat of veals and sheep?
Is 1t to quit the dish
OF flesh, yet still
To fill
The platter high with fish?
Is 1t to fast an hour,
Or ragg'd to go,
Or show
A downcast look, and sour?
No! IT'S a fast to dole
Thy sheaf Of wheat,
And meat,
Unto the hungry soul.
It is to fast from strife,
From old debate
And hate
To circumsize thy life.
To show a heart grief-rent;
To starve thy sin,
Not bin
And that's to keep thy Lent.
