Ceaseless strives a cruel race.
Folk songs
Youth forlorn! tho’ crowds deride thee,
Gentle minds for thee must grieve;
Back to _reason_, wish to guide thee,
And thy ev’ry want relieve,
O from this sad state to snatch thee,
Why delay the _good_ and _kind_?
_Pity_ calls them on to watch thee,
Year: 1850
