TO MY WATCH, by                    
First Line: Little monitor, by thee / let me learn what I should be
Last Line: Till all be regular and true.


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;
Mark the movements of my mind,
Nor be easy till I find
Latent errors brought to view,
Till all be regular and true.
