Warm with benevolence to human kind:
O’er the dark mind to pour instruction’s ray,
And lead the ignorant in wisdom’s way;
With patient zeal the Christian’s path to smooth,
And wide diffuse the genial light of truth.
One lonely bosom breathes a deeper sigh,
Connected by a near, and dearer tie:
With him she trod the late delightful road;
For him her heart with friendly fervour glow’d.
He’ll ne’er forget how many social hours
