On! snatchd away in beauty's bloom,
On thee shall press no ponderous tomb:
But on thy tut shall roses rear
Their leaves the earliest OF the year
And the wild cypress wave in tender gloom,
And oft by yon blue gushing stream
Shall sorrow lean heT dropping head,
And feed deep tho't with many dream,
And lingering pause and lightly tread,
