On Receiving A Pot Of Thyme
18th Century Rebekah Carmichael EnglishON RECEIVING A POT OF THYME
Ah Time! thou best, thou dearest gift of heav'n, The most abus'd of all its blessings giv'n; At last I prize, I honour, and respect, What long I've had, and treated with neglect. Bless'd be the youth who show'd me first my crime, And ever after made me value Time!
