When Dan Sol to slope his wheels began

 Where the wild thyme and chamomile are found- 

 There would he linger, till the latent ray 

 Ol' lights .-at trembling on the welkin bound.

SENTIMENT. 



The rose in thy garden this morning that bloomed, 

 See its leaves arc all faded and strewed o'er the plain, 

 An<l even the /ephvr, whose breath it perfumed, 

 Seems sighing to sav that all beautv is vain. 

 lint there is u fnrnr that eamiot drcnve, 

 That all may confide in to whom it is given; 

 And there is a '6< p ni//j/' no time can bereave, 

 That perfumes with its fragrance the gardens of 



heaven: 



'T is the j'nrur Humility earns from on high 

 Shown to all who in virtue's fair pathway ahull move; 

 'T is the Ixdiilij of Holiness, never to die, 

 But to blossom forever in bowers above. 



Token for 1828.
