by Unknown

Her dusky shade o’er pleasures flown;

But sad remembrance lifts the veil,

To view the scenes of rapture gone.

Yet Emma, dear ungrateful maid,

Though thou art fickle, I am not:

Nor till I sink in death’s dark shade,

Shall Emma’s image be forgot.

CLARA.

Pearl-Street, Sept. 1, 1796.
