Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Occasional Poems
Wealth it is good, but is not all That plenty, if abused, will pall. Canst thou in this delicious May Remember Winter's brief, dull day, Remember life will pass away? Know'st thou more certainly each year, We are on trial, strangers here, Tenants of no abiding home, Heirs of a treasure still to come? Whate'er He deems it best to send, Canst thou thank God P - for each true friend, For converse high, for beaming grace, And care-dispelling, tranced face? For mind, for health, for power to work, For blessings that in small things lurk? Primrose and cowslip, bathed in dew, Fresh from the meads, and plucked for you, Thy happy little children's gift, Can these thy better part uplift To Him who glorifies thy lot With what the fortunate have not? Then cheerly on from day to day, And thank Him for the ?owering May.
