VERSES IN A WATCH by WILLIAM CZAR BRADLEY

First Line: LITTLE MONITOR, BY THEE
Last Line: TILL ALL BE REGULAR AND TRUE.
Subject(s): WATCHES;

Little monitor, by thee
Let me learn what I should be—
Learn the round of life to fill,
Useful and progressive still.
Thou canst gentle hints impart
How to regulate the heart.
When I wind thee up at night,
Mark each fault and set thee right,
Let me search my bosom too,
And my daily thoughts review;
Nor be easy when I find
Latent errors rise to view,
Till all be regular and true.
