POETICAL ASYLUM, Omnius metit tempus. THE harveft is over and gen?, The noon of the year it is p3& ; This wrings from my bofom a mcan That time flit-s fo rapidly faft ; Forever has gone half the year ! Its Sun is approaching the weft ; And vvhifpers my foul to prepare, A fdfe, a true mafion of reft.' liSte bloom'd the young rofes of May, Difpenfing to xther their fwcet ; Nor fcortch'd by the vertical ray, They droop under midfummei's heat; A leflon emphatief'o all, Tho' gaily as rofn they're drefl Give heed, Oh ! my foul to the call Prepare a afe manfion of reft.' The fummer's declining apace, Soon autumn will rear his pale head, Thus ages to ages give place, Soon others will rife in our ftead ; Since time flies fo rapidly faft, O 1 look unto Jefus's bread ; tWhen millions of years ihall have pall, 'Twill be the fafc manfion of rcnV V.
