[Our joy in a created good]

Jonah was exceeding glad of the gourd. —iv. 6.

Our joy in a created good
How soon it fades away,
Fades (at the morning hour bestow'd)
Before the noon of day:
Joy by its violent excess
To certain ruin tends,
And all our rapturous happiness
In hasty sorrow ends.

Not always. J.W.
