My heart is pain'd with scorn and slight;

I have too many foes to fight,

And friends grown strangely cool!

The very chum that shar'd my cake

Holds out so cold a hand to shake,

It makes me shrink and sigh:—

On this I will not dwell and hang,

The changeling would not feel a pang

Though these should meet his eye!

No skies so blue or so serene
