LINES ON LIFE.
With all the cares and toils that here abound,And e’en deep seas of grief which men must ford—To him whose guardian is th’ Omnipotent,Life is a source of everlasting joy!This world at most is but an anteroom,Where souls prepare to take their joyous flightTo Heaven’s eternal mansions. Thus the whileWe here remain, is it not meet that weShould wear the garb of truth and righteousness?
