A Short Meditation for Every Day

The past—where is it?—It has fled. The future—It may never come,

Our friends departed?—With the dead.

Ourselves?—Fast hastening to the tomb.

Where are earth's joys?—The dews of mourn.

It's pleasures?—Oceans writhing foam.

Where's peace?—In trials meekly borne.

Where's joy?—In Heaven, the Christian's home.
