Lines Written In Friars-Carse Hermitage
lines written in friars'-carse hermitage
glenriddel hermitage, juh, 1788.
thou whom ce may hither lead,
be thou russet weed,
be thou deckt in silken stole,
grave these maxims on thy soul.
life is but a day at most,
sprung from night, in darkness lost:
hope not sunshine every hour,
fear not clouds will always lour.
happiness is but a name,
make tent and ease thy aim,
ambition is a meteleam;
fame, an idle restless dream;
peace, the tend'rest flow'r of spring;
pleasures, is on the wing;
those that sip the dew alone—
