Neatly she dress’d, nor vainly seem’d t’expect

Pity for grief, or pardon for neglect;

But when her wearied parents sunk to sleep,

She sought her place to meditate and weep:

Then to her mind was all the past display’d,

That faithful Memory brings to Sorrow’s aid;

For then she thought on one regretted Youth,

Her tender trust, and his unquestioned truth;

In ev’ry place she wander’d, where they’d been,

And sadly sacred held the parting scene;
