The very thought which makes you form this wish

Forbids it to be mine. Your native land

Attracts you, and has mine no charm for me?

Shall a remembrance of your cherished home,

Your absent kindred and your dearest friends,

Which years and distance have not yet effaced,

Rule in your soul with softer, mightier sway

Than what I know, and hear, and feel of mine.

DAJA.

'Tis vain to struggle, for the ways of Heaven
