Verse reads, 'THE morning flow'rs display their sweets> And gay their silken leaves unfold> As careless of the noontide heats> As fearless of the evening cold> Nipt by the winds untimely blast> Parch'd by the sun's dirseter ray> The momentary glories waste> The short liv'd beauties die away> So blooms the human face divine> When youth its pride of beauty shows> Fairer than spring the colours shine> And sweeter than the virgin rose> Or worn by slowly rolling years> Or broke by sickness in a day> The fading glory disappears> The short liv'd beauties die away> Yet these new rising from the tomb> With lustre brighter far shall shine>Revive with ever during bloom> Safe from diseases and decline> Let sickness blast let death devour> If heaven must recompence our pains> Perish the grass and fade the flower> If form the Wind of God remains.'.
