Woqld'st thou know why weep,

Dost thou know not the sleep
That alone blights despaiF?
Nor the loved spot Of earth
Where rest can be found
From the hour of our birth
Know ye motifs the ground
Would'st thou know Why tbe sigh
Seems so anxious to burst
From my bosom to die
Mid realms still more CURED
Why the last kindly ray
That coursed through my heart,
Fled too with the last day
That was then to depart
Go stray to one lake-shore,
Where two structures Of stone
Breathe 10 more, OF no more,
On the beings bemoan.
When the pillows return,
Every wall Of regret,
As my anguish doth spuru
Every wish to forget.

Why sorrow IS my DOOM

Would my home were the tomb SOLITUDE
