/ have been amid pleasure and Joy,
| have been with the young and gay,
Yet pleasure | found but a toy,
A smile to allure and betray.
| have roamed through the woodland and


meadow,
Ihave listn'd to the warblers wild song,
Nor the forest or vale did | heed,
Nor could the wild notes cheer me long.
| have slrayed through the gardens Of flow.


LTs,


l have pluck'd both the lilly and rose,
| have sought for delights in their bowers,
Nor yet found moments repOse.
Oh! where shall fly for relief,
Oh ! where shall rest me from care,
Here below all is sorrow and grief,
Every hope terminates in despair.
But 10 It's vision Of day,
Has burst on my minds darksOme ght,
In lovely, yet modest array,
Benign tho resPlendenty bright.
IT'S religion in accents Of love,
She cries, ye that labor and grievo,
o, come to my arms and ye viii prove
How sweetly your care I'll relieve.
And her looks and her words have such


charms,
Theirs none can resist their control,
Oh gladly fly to her arms,
And at length find repose to my soul.
