The poetical works of John and Charles Wesley | ||
1489.
[In vain doth earthly bliss afford]
The gourd withered.
—iv. 7.
In vain doth earthly bliss afford
A momentary shade;
It rises like the prophet's gourd,
And withers o'er my head:
96
No more for earth I pine,
Secure of everlasting rest
Beneath the heavenly Vine.
