by Unknown

Too much adored, gave birth to throngs

Of joys effeminate, and songs

Which sprung from earth, and, like a breeze,

Died wantonly among the trees,

Without a moral or a mirth

Above the passing bliss of earth!

Frederic W. Faber.

Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord.—Colossians, iii. 20.
