And, on through other realms in charmed life,

I follow'd, by thy silver accents led,

So sweet, the summer air with bliss seem'd rife,

And harping angels hover'd o'er my head.

But yet—farewell! with sadden'd, sinking heart,

I turn from all the joys I late have known,

Where from the rushing crowd I oft shall start,

To find myself dejected and alone.

Yet, sometimes thou return, and with those eyes

Bright as an angel's, look on me again,
