1 O in the morn of life, when youth
With vital ardor glows,
And shines in all the fairest charms
That beauty can disclose,--
2 Deep in thy soul, before its powers
Are yet by vice enslaved,
Be thy Creator’s glorious Name
And character engraved:
3 Ere yet the shades of sorrow cloud
The sunshine of thy days;
And cares and toils, in endless round
Encompass all thy ways:
4 Ere yet thy heart the woes of age,
With vain regret deplore,
And sadly muse on former joys,
That now return no more.
5 True wisdom, early sought and gain'd,
In age will give thee rest;
O then, improve the morn of life,
To make its evening blest.
