1,,vs of nv vouth--I have striv'd to dctain you;
Ne ,scap'd me and hcd--l can never regain you.
Scenes Of my youth--ye are fugitive streams.
Days of my youth--ye arc visions and dreams.
Y'ears of my youtll---your fountain is dri'd.
Hopes of my youth-ye are chastened and tr'd
Schemes of my youth--yc arc checked and cor


rectcd.


yv;lcs of NV voutf-yc arc seen and detected.
Years of my youtli--yc have fitted away.
Hairs of nv youth---ye are scatterd and grey
Teeth OF my youtll--ye arc shattered and gone.
Checks of my youth-yc are illlTow d ana wan
Blood of my youtli-you are slow and conGeald.
I.ossof my youth--thou art fully rcvea'd.
wife of nv yorth-wlosc love is the same,
Through the changes of life, i'll honor or shame;
I'm youth or in age--in misfortune or wealth;
In sorrows and pleasures--in sickness and health.
yjfc ofmv youth--cver constant and kind,
tho rose on thy check be somewhat declined;
The smile Of thine eye, and the charm Of thy


tongue,


Tell me Of thy youth in the dance and the song.
Rows Of my youth-thcy to manhood have grown.
Girls Of our yolth--almost sigh to be gone.
Tho the stock of our youth be shivcrd and


r.v'd,


In the sprouts of our youth our hopes are re-


vivid.


Friends of my youth-you go--onc by one
Should tarry yet longer-you will leave me a.


lone,


For our Father each hour his messenger sends,
To take from our bosoms wife, children, OF


friends.


God of my youth, ever faithful and true,
Let thy wisdom direct me the path pursuc;
NV protector in youth, my supporter in years
O cherish my hopes, and counsel my fears
When the days of my life shall be NUMBERED and


clos'd,


And my head on my pillow of earth be repos'd
Mayl rise up refresh'd and renew'd from the


tomb,


To mansions where YorTn forever shall bloom
