WRITTEN AFTER A PERUSAL OF THE EIGHTH SERMON OF BARROW, 1786.
As meadows parch'd, brown groves, and withering flow'rs,Imbibe the sparkling dew and genial show'rs;
As chill dark air inhales the morning beam,
As thirsty harts enjoy the gelid stream;
Thus to man's grateful soul from heav'n descend,
The mercies of his Father, Lord, and Friend.
