The Works of Richard Owen Cambridge | ||
Ye records, patents of our worth and pride!
Our daily lesson, and our nightly guide!
Where'er ye stand disposed in proud array,
The vapours vanish, and the heart is gay;
But when no cards the chimney-glass adorn,
The dismal void with heart-felt shame we mourn;
Conscious neglect inspires a sullen gloom,
And brooding sadness fills the slighted room.
Our daily lesson, and our nightly guide!
Where'er ye stand disposed in proud array,
The vapours vanish, and the heart is gay;
But when no cards the chimney-glass adorn,
The dismal void with heart-felt shame we mourn;
Conscious neglect inspires a sullen gloom,
And brooding sadness fills the slighted room.
