  • Lyrics-
    The morning flow'rs display their sweets,
    Any gay their silken leaves unfold;
    As careless of the noonday heats,
    And fearless of the evening cold.
    Nipped by the wind's unkindly blast,
    Parched by the sun's directer ray,
    The momentary glories waste,
    The short-lived beauties die away.
    So bloom 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-lived 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 decay.
    Let sickness blast, and death devour,
    If heav'n must recompence our pains;
    Perish the grass, and fade the flow'r,
    If firm the word of God remains.
