All the softer Joys are lost

Proudly on himself relying,
Dark his breast, his heart a waste,
All the threats Of fate defying,
How shall man loves blessings taste
joys Of hearts with friendship glowing,
And the sweet exchange Of souls,
Loves pure stream, that ever flowing
idts OF rich enjoyment rolls
But as from Eolus' harp when It's shaken
BY the light breeze, notes Of harmony Waken,
