INSCRIPTION FOR AN IVY BOWER.
Those who are pleas'd with this low bower,
Whom lowly charms may win,
Must stoop, ere they can gain the power
To view the roof within.
Whom lowly charms may win,
Must stoop, ere they can gain the power
To view the roof within.
This thought may prove of moral worth,
If Christian grace be given,
Since He who lowest stoop'd on earth
Is highest now in heaven.
If Christian grace be given,
Since He who lowest stoop'd on earth
Is highest now in heaven.
