About Town-By Wax
To Kate.
Well Kate, fis past the revel's DER
Th- wit, the mrth, the music aown,
ndJoy has sought some other shore
And LETT her votary here alone;
Alone but with his shattered lute
To while away the hours till day
Alas J! its chords are cold and mute
His heart and hopes a. coid.as they.
Tine when beauty warmed my soul,
Till every thought sushed fnll and free
And passion burstirg INTO life,
Found easy vent in poetry.
Each star that gsmmed the heavens by night
Seemed born 10 gild the path to bliss
And fancy SCARED n wild delight,
sY.t found NO world more bright than this.
And womanb smile could charm my soul
No better-desrer- guerdon asked
her rnsa, gent ;s s wo,d n my y; mooa ;1s. = CONTROL
Yet now in vain wonld essay.
To sing ss have sung before, at,
And should falter on my way,
Smile thou, dear ate, 4 ask no more.
