Where I used to play on the green. And the gate of this chapel was shut,And Thou shalt not * writ over thedoor;So I turned to the garden of love,That so many sweet flowers bore; And I saw it was filled with graves, And tombstones where flowers should be;And priests in black gowns were walking theirroundsAnd binding with briers my* joys and desires. There is a gentleman who has given muchtime and labor to helping the poorer classes.He gathers them by the thousands in greathalls for mutual improvement, and the thou-sands never fail to come at his call.
