With transport heighten’d by those ills of night,

Hails the rich glories of expanding light;

E’en thus, awakening from thy dream of woe,

While heaven’s own hues in radiance round thee glow,

With warmer ecstasy ’tis thine to trace

Each tint of beauty, and each line of grace;

More bright, more prized, more precious, since deplored

As loved lost relics, ne’er to be restored—

Thy grief as hopeless as the tear-drop shed

By fond affection bending o’er the dead.
