But friendship proves a broken stay, If on it we depend ; Or, like a show'ry winter day, That's hast'ning to an end. THE BACKSLIDER. HE felt in his soul a sad decline Of ardent pious feeling ; The snares of life, and the cares of time, As damps o'er the soul were stealing. In solemn approach, the Sabbath came, But came with a stern rebuke ; The Priest of God, with his Master's claim, Made the wounded bosom droop. And then remorse, with its cutting pain, The broken heart was drilling ; And ev'ry... hope of the soul was slain, In the ocean of dismal feeling. He strove to return but durst not vow For vows were always failing ; Dark were his dreary prospects now, And the chords of his heart were wailing. 70 But still he thought of a Saviour's name- He thought of his Saviour rising ; And hope arose in his heart again But hopes and fears were striving. And then he thought of saints that fell He thought of their sad condition ; How anguish made their bosoms swell, In the midst of deep contrition.
