Where youder mossy isle OF green

Rolling its azure tides TO lave

As the wild home of Solitude
" Where tinkIing riils in mnrmurs soft,

Where deep mid forest shades remote,

Floating on balmy breezes round
Where thousand how'rcts strew the ground

When Darkness spreads her sable wings,
And Night her dusky mantle filings,
Yelling the lake with yapours damp,
Are seen By tre-fy's ftfnl lamp,
The Muses., mourning mid the gloom
That shrouds the Poets halowd Tomb.
Their Honor comes with martial Glory,
Their reeking blades are staind and CORY;
There dove-eyed Peace points TO her star,
And woos the generous sons Of War;
There frownipg Justice lists to hear
The soothing voice of Mercy near
And Pity there, a weeping gu st,
Awakes Compassion 10 his breast.
There unquench'd Love and Constancy,
by Hope Geceiv d in Infancy,
Unite, in bands of Friendship holy,
With the pale shade of Melancholy.
And Science, led by Reasons light,
rhther repairs with Genius bright;
For holy Friendship bids them turn
To consecrate brother's urn,
And kind Atfection's warm tears flow
As Music ohaunts the dirges slow
Hopes beaming smile eau scarce llume
The shade that Grief nings o'er his tomb.
When wild tornadoes rend the air,
And lightnings fash with vivid glare,
And Kissing meteor's cleaning spark
Illumes the weIkin, drear and dark
The fates, rejoicing mid the gloom,
Dance o'er the Poets halloW'd tOMb.
There Madness rolls his phfenzied eye
And sCowls at eager ayaricc nigh,
And wildly laughs to see him strain
