John Newton.

One morn I mark’d two dewdrops bright,

Impendent on a thorny spray:

The gems had caught my roving sight,

Gay glittering in the sunny ray.

A sudden breeze pass’d o’er the ground,

And shook their faithless resting-place;

They trembled—waver’d—with a bound,

Commingled in a kind embrace,

’Tis thus, thought I, with loving hearts,
