O’er his pale cheek a hectic glow:

And oft his features and his air

A shade of troubled mystery wear,

A glance of hurried wildness, fraught

With some unfathomable thought.

Whate’er that thought, still unexpress’d

Dwells the sad secret in his breast;

The pride his haughty brow reveals

All other passion well conceals—

He breathes each wounded feeling’s tone
