O'cr the blue wave olcvcning spring,
And give those scales Of silver white,
So gaiIy to the eye oflight,
As if thy frame was formed 10 rise
And live amidst tie glorious skics;-
Ah! it has made me proudly feel,
How like ti,y wings impatient zeal
Is the pure soul that seems TO rest
Upon the worlds ignoble breast,
But takes the plume that Gnd has giv'n,
Ard rises into light aud heaven
But when seen that wing so bright,
Grow anguid with moments flight,
Attempt the paths ofair in vain,
And sink into the waves again.
Alas! the flallerng pride is DER;
Like thre awhile the soul may soar;
But errng man must blush to think,
Like thee again the soul must sink.
Ah! virtue. when thy CLINE seek,
Let not my spirits flight be weak
Let Inc nut. like this feeble thing,
With bline still dropping from lis wing,
Just sparkle in the solar glow.
And plunge again to dcpts below
But when leave the groSser tlIrong.
With whom my soul hath dwelt so long,
Let Inc in that aspiring day
Cast every ling'ring san away
Aud painting for thy pnrcr air,
Fly up nj cncc, and fix mr there"
