I long to lay this | painful | head And aching | heart be- | neath the | soil, | For misery | stole me at my birth, And cast me | helpless on the wild:771 On thy dear | lap | these | limbs re- | clined, | My pulse, Hark! a strange | sound af- | frights mine | ear; 1 The Grave,(that | never | spake be- | fore,)|| Hath | found at | length a | tongue |to| chide:1 I will speak no | more: | O listen! Be | silent, | Pride. |1971 Art thou a | wretch, of | hope for- | lorn, | The victim of con- | suming | care? 1771 Is thy distracted | conscience | torn | By fell de- | spair? 1 Wring with re- | morse thy | guilty | breast? | Lash'd by the furies of the | mind, ◄| From wrath and | vengeance would'st thou | flee? Ah! | think not, | hope not, | fool, to find 1 Be-yond the power of | tongue to tell,1 By death | and | hell! | I charge thee | live! | re- | pent and pray; 11 There yet is mercy; | go thy | way, | Con- fess thy | folly, || kiss the | rod, | And in thy | chastening | sorrows | see | The hand of | God. 191991 Now | traveller in the | vale of | tears! There is A rest Pursue thy | flight. 1771 a calm for | those who | weep, 1 for | weary | pilgrims | found; | And while the | mouldering | ashes | sleep The soul, Low in the ground; | (of | origin | di- | vine,| God's glorious | image), || freed from | clay, In heaven's e-ternal | sphere shall | shine, A star of day!|71771 The sun is but a | spark of | fire, 1|17| The soul, im- | mortal as its | sire, Shall never die. |77|71 ། MONTGOMERY.
