BUT THE TRUTH.

Go thou in life's fair morning, Go in thy bloom of youth, And buy, for thine adorning, The precious boon of truth. Secure this heavenly treasure, And bind it on thy heart, And let no worldly pleasure E'er cause it to depart.
Go, while the day-star shineth, Go, while thy heart is light, Go, ere thy strength declineth, While every sense is bright. Sell all thou hast, and buy it; 'Tis worth all earthly things,— Rubies, and gold, and diamonds, Scepters and crowns of kings.
Go, ere the cloud of sorrow Steal o'er the bloom of youth! Defer not till to-morrow, Go now and buy the truth; Go, seek thy great Creator, Learn early to be wise; Go place upon the altar A morning sacrifice!
