CAUTION

By Sel.

Was there a bright and glorious summer sky Ever so pure and clear, But black and rugged clouds were hovering nigh, To make it dull and drear? Was there an Eden e’er so blithe and gay, And free from jealous care, But busy change, some dark, unwelcome day, Brought grief and sorrow there?
When, blessed with pleasant days, and fortune’s smile, Our life untroubled grows, ’Tis best to guard, in watchfulness, the while, Against unlooked for foes; And while we thank the Lord for mercies past, And blessings day by day, ’Tis best ahead a watchful eye to cast, And watch, as well as pray.
—Sel.
