WRITTEN III pEIEcTIos NEAR NArLKs.
The sun is warm. the sky is clear,
The waves dancing fast and bright,
Blue isles and snowy mountains wear
The purple moons transparent light
Around its unexpanded buds;
Like many voice Of one delight,
The winds, the birds, the ocean floods,
Tho citys voice itself, is sweet like solitude's.

With green and purple seawccds strown;

Like light dissolved, in star owers thrown:

The lightning of the noontde ocean
Is flashing round me. and n tone
ARISES from Its measured motion,
How sweet! did any heart now share in my emotion.
Alas have not hope nor health,
Nor peace within, nor calm around,
Nor that content surprising wealth
The sage in meditation found,
And walked with inward glory crowned
Nor lame nor power, nor love nor leisure.
Others see whom these surround
Smiling they live and call life pleasure
To me that cup has been dealt in another measure.
Yet now despair itself is mild,
Even rs the winds and waters are;
could lie down like tired child,
And weep away the life OF care
Which have borne aud yet bear,
I'M deah-llke sleep might steal on me.
And might feel in the warm air,
My cheek grow cold. and hear the sea
Breathe Ger my dying brain its last monotony.
Some might lament that were cold,
As | when this sweet day l. gone,
Which my lost heart too soon grown old
Insults with this unumely moan;
they might lament, COR ! aui one
