To Miss Cracroft; on the Moral Reflections Contained in Her Answer to the Above Verses
ON THE MORAL REFLECTIONS CONTAINED IN HER ANSWER TO THE
ABOVE VERSES .
Sweet moralist! whose moving truths impart
At once delight and anguish to my heart!
Though human joys their short-liv'd sweets exhale
Like the wan beauties of the wasted vale;
Yet trust the Muse, fair friendship's flower shall last,
When life's short sunshine, like its storms, is past;
Bloom in the fields of some ambrosial shore,
Where Time, and Death, and Sickness are no more.
