"REMEMBER THY CREATOR IN THE DAYS OF THY YOUTH." REMEMBER Him! while yet no sorrow flings Its gloomy shadow on thy smiling brow; Before a livid trace of sadness clings Unto thy cheek, and stains thy bosom's snow. Before thy hair turns grey, thine eye grows dim, Remember his commands,-remember Him! Remember Him! while yet thy soul can cope And the fresh pulses of the heart appeal Unto their parent, for whereon to feed : Remember Him,-thou shalt be blest indeed! Remember Him! though this world spread her snares Of fading flowers and gilded chains for thee; Though thy bright path be free from thorns and cares, And thou dost joy in fancy's imagery; Let not its visions from thy spirit's sight Shut out the one pure, true, Eternal Light. Remember Him! when death seems distant far, And not a mist is in life's summer sky, While the sweet voices of affection are Floating around thy heart in melody; .While health and vigour nerve each youthful limb, Even in thy fullest strength, remember Him! whether youth be past, www sill get Him not; sua seg at the last, 21 25. —ăva shalt not be forgot. ar si es pen my spirit dim, 24, 4 DNG Zember Him! MOSS. The velvet moss, Embroidered with the purple violet, Gleamed in the sunshine like an emerald gem. M. J. F. How I love to look on the fresh green moss, In the pleasant time of spring, When the young light leaves in the quick breeze toss, Like fairies on the wing; When it springeth up in woodland walks, And a natural carpet weaves, To cover the mass of withered stalks, And last year's fallen leaves. |
