FANCY.
Companion! Playmate,! Nurse of Bliss
Come Fancy, young and fair
And brat' thine airy world to this, •

And snatch the Soul front Care !
Came on thy wings of sparkling' light,
And cheer, and charm, and cheat the tight,

And feed the mind en air I
Clad ever soothing, ever free,
Let all thy peinp be revelry!

neholii: thin' yonder crimson cloud,

Ethereal vestments tbm,

Mid Fancy shakes her fiery shroud,
And darts her rays below !
And laughing is her eager eye,
And soft from tattle upper sky,
She strala its wreaths of snow;
And splendid in her purest dress,.
She scatters peace and happiness

Oh t rest thee yet waterth, fair MMd,
And strike thy silver shell?,
And let thy highest strain be play'd,
And carelessly excel ! • '•
The dew that from thy fingcr falls,
lustre dart on thivery walls;
front each pearly bell,
The smallest, sweetest note shall creep,
And charm the drowsy ear of Sleep !

Oh l tome and lead the infant Thought
To scenes far eve! new,
And tet the talcs which Hope has tatilibt
Seem beautifully true!
Oh ! fairer is thY world of tears,
. • • And dearer are thy trembling fears,
Where shadows, shades pursue,
Than all this, bitter world can give,
When must it bids us try to live

Oh ! see to yonder moss-topp'd tow'r,
Young Fancy speeds her way,
And calls her Suns from ev'ry hover),
To hear the luring lay
Attention creeping, clasps her knee)
And Laughter chides his former.glee,

AO hour runs alter hour!
While still the rapt and eager throng,
Hang ev'ry sense on ev'ry song! -

Ol► ! most complete, when carelistmosti
And soother of our sigtil
And wand'rinr, still, but never lost,
Except within the sky !
Oh ! crer.bressitig, ever blest,
And mnost at peace, when least at rest;
! robe thine head on high ! '
And mantled ip thy dress of dew,
Pry sh Aours, hopes, and pleasures strew !
