When Nj hthas thrown her sable robe,
And darkness hoyers Ger the globe,
When stars their silent vigils keep,
And every eye is closed in sleep;
Thon stretched upon my couch, i lie,
With tortared frame and sleepless eye.
And aS pale Luna climbs on high,
And like a goddess, walks the sky;
While through my window steals n beam,

Fond retrospection wonders back,
Der Nemory's lone though beaten track.
And b~ringeth to my eager gaze,
Blest visions Of those happy days,
Ere disappointment's poisoned tooth
Had nipped the bursting bud Of youth,
When to my gay and hopeful soul,
Ambition beckoned from its goal.
Like magic to my l%istless eyes,
A thousnnd sunlit scenes arise
Whilst memory from her fragrant bower,
Culls many n fair and blooming flower;
Aud OH how wildly throb my veins,
gbliyious almost Of their pains.
but hitting by In swift review,
Far different scenes loom up in view
The flowers no more bedeck my way
Ihe birds have hushed their carols gay;
While on the futures far off shore,
1 see Hopes radiant star no more.
B1t PROSTATE on my couch, I lilo,
With tortured franc and sunken eye
Ambitions syren song is husbod,
And every hope Of youth is crush cd
And oft while heaving bitter signs,
The tear.drops tremble in my eyes.
Thus Oft in midnights quiet hour,
Does memory make her lonely tour;
While all around is silence deep,
And all save | are hushed in sleep;
But I'd not chain her If I could,
Who thus beguiles my solitude.
