 RECOLLECTIONS OF THE PAST YEAR. 



Another year has run its round ; 



Oh may it not have pass'd in vain ; 

 Attend my soul the voice profound 



And listen to its parting strain. 



Perhaps it speaks of joys gone by, 



Departed ne'er again to bless ; 

 Or it may breathe of sorrow's sigh 



So frequent in this wilderness. 



Or it may tell of time misspent, 

 Of vows forgot, of promise broken, 



By which the inmost soul was rent, 

 And mis'ry was the mourner's token. 



But say, is there no lighter shade 

 To cast upon these recollections ? 



No faithful, valued tribute paid 

 To menTry's dearest, best affections ? 



Oh yes, " in my minds eye" I view 

 Some scenes so sweet and so endearing, 



That fancy paints them all anew, 



And love would give them oft a hearing. 



Well then, it seems what time can give 



Is mix'd, uncertain, stable never : 



Haste then on Heav'nly hopes to live, 



And so thy joys shall last for ever.
