COUNSEL.

BY DMEETRIEFF.


Youth, those moments so entrancing,
   Spend in sports and pleasures gay,
Mirth and singing, love and dancing,
   Like a shade thou'lt pass away!

Nature points the way before us,
   Friends to her sweet voice give ear,
Form the dances, raise the chorus,
   We but for an hour are here.

Think the term of mirth and pleasure
   Comes no more when once gone by,
Let us prize life's only treasure,
   Blest with love and jollity.

And the bard all sorrows scorning,
   Who, though old, still joins your ring,
With gay wreaths of flowers adorning
   Crown him that he still may sing.

Youth, those moments so entrancing,
   Spend in sports and pleasures gay,
Mirth and singing, love and dancing,
   Like a shade thou'lt pass away!
