A moment more—and all is dark;

This orb, that beauteous shapes have brighten’d,

And lighted like a diamond spark,

Shall palsy, ne’er to be enlighten’d!

XVIII.

Then my last look shall be at you,

Ye blessed things that still I cherish;

’Tis well the latest things I view,

Should charm me, even as I perish!

Farewell, farewell; life’s dream is going;
