Of thin white wavering ash. The warmth it gave

Is now diminished, and the keen frost-air

Pierces the lonely room. Farewell old scene

Of oft-remembered joys—to thee, good night!

And now withdrawn to solitude, I may

Let thought make free excursions, and review

The recent hours of pleasure. There are times

When we think inwardly, that is more deep

Within our being, so that images

Distinct and palpable, are scarcely seen
