And ignorant, except of outward show)

I cannot think thee yet so dull of heart

And spiritless, as never to regret

Sweets tasted here, and left as soon as known.

Methinks I see thee straying on the beach,

And asking of the surge that bathes thy foot,

If ever it has wash'd our distant shore.

I see thee weep, and thine are honest tears,

A patriot's for his country: thou art sad

At thought of her forlorn and abject state,
