Deep murm’ring in reproach,

Thy sad untimely fate.

Ere those dear eyes had open’d to the light,

In vain to plead, thy coming life was sold,

O waken’d but to sleep,

Whence it can wake no more!

A thousand and a thousand silken leaves

The tufted beech unfolds in early spring,

All clad in tenderest green,

All of the self-same shape;
