Soft as the halcyons downy nest,
And transient all as they are truel
They stir the leaves in that bright wreath.
Which Hope about her forehead twines,
Till Grief's hot sighs aroundit breath. .
Then Pleasures lip its smile resigns.
Alas for Time and Death, and Care,
What gloom about our way they fling
Like clouds IN Autumn's gusty air,
The burial pageant of the Spring.
The dreams that. each successive year
Seemed bathed in hues of brighter pride
At last like withered caves appear,
/ And sleep in darkness, side BY side.
