INNOCENT PLEASURES.

By Anon.

Few rightly estimate the worth Of joys that spring and fade on earth; They are not weeds we should despise; They are not fruits of Paradise; But wild flowers in the pilgrim's way, That cheer, but not protract, his stay; Which he dare not too fondly clasp, Lest they should perish in his grasp, And yet may view, and wisely love, As proofs and types of joys above.
Anon.
