A SONG.
WHere dwells the cafuiH to reveal,
What mad men thick, or losers feel ?
Conned the thoughts which disagree,
Aad tell, O tell what this can be ?
Ooce ever free, and ever gay,
Life flo'e on G ken wings away ;
No more alart, no more I’m free,
Tell me O tel! what this can be ?
Once facial joys my foul cou d share,
And idle superior raptu tes there ;
Bpt now forgets her former glee,
Tell me, O te I what this can be ?
No more the fi ent haunts are fled,
But what avails the Gleet (hade ?
I feel the dfeentent I d fl e,
Tell me, O tell what this can be ?
Silent I view, and Hill approve,
My timorctis tongue forgets to move ;
I dare not, cannot lisp the plea,
Tell me, O tell what this can be ?
Ye gods, unkindly ye ordain,
Such pangs, and give not to complain ;
Have I deferv’d this hadh decree ?
Tell me O tell whit this can be ?
Yes, dear lov’d Mira 1 O *ppr®ve ß
The dying sighs or humble love ;
I think I drcam, and talk of thee,
This mull be love, O pity me.
