At summer eve, when Heavens ethereal bow

Whose sunbright summit mingles with the sky'
Why do those cliffs Of shadowy tint appear
More sweet than all the landscape smiling near
Ills distance lends enchantment TO the view,
And robes the mountain In is azure hue.
Thus, with delight, we linger to survey
The promised joys Of LIES unmeasured way;
Thus, nom afaf, each dim discovered scene
More pleasing seems than all the past hath been,
And every form that fancy can repair
From dark oblivion, CLOVIS divinsly there.

Can wisdom lend, with all her heavenly power,
The pledge Of joys antlcI pated hour,
An, nc she darby sees the fate Of man
Her Dim horizon pointed to a span;
VI, IL she hold an image to the view,
