| OH! |
| think not my spirits are always as light |
| And as free from a pang as they seem to you now |
| Nor expect that the heart-beaming smile of to-night |
| Will return with to-morrow to brighten my brow |
| No: — life is a waste of wearisome hours |
| Which seldom the rose of enjoyment adorns; |
| And the heart that is soonest awake to the flowers |
| Is always the first to be touch’d by the thorns |
| But send round the bowl, and be happy awhile — |
| May we never meet worse, in our pilgrimage here |
| Than the tear that enjoyment may gild with a smile |
| And the smile that compassion can turn to a tear |
| The thread of our life would be dark, Heaven knows |
| If it were not with friendship and love intertwined; |
| And I care not how soon I may sink to repose |
| When these blessing shall cease to be dear to my mind |
| But they who have loved the fondest, the purest |
| Too often have wept o’er the dream they believed; |
| And the heart that has slumber’d in friendship securest |
| Is happy indeed if 'twas never deceived |
| But send round the bowl; |
| while a relic of truth |
| Is in man or in woman, this prayer shall be mine, — |
| That the sunshine of love may illumine our youth |
| And the moonlight of friendship console our decline |
