Beauty's Song

What's Life still changing ev'ry hour? Tis all the seasons in a Day! The Smile, the Tear, the Sun, the Show'r' Tis now December, now tis May At morn we hail some envied Queen; At eve she sinks some Cottage guest; Yet if contentment gilds the scene Contentment makes the Cottage blest. Who more than I, this truth can feel? I feel it yet am charm'd to find While thus I turn the spinning-wheel The station humbles not the mind. Ah no! in days of youth and health Nature will smile tho' fortune frown Be this my song Content is wealth' And duty ev'ry toil shall crown.
