LL, ye lawns!--by fond remembrance blest,
As witnesses of gay unclouded hours;
Where, to maternal friendships' bosom prest,
My happy childhood past among your bowers.
Ye wood-walks wild!--where leaves and fairy
By Spring's luxuriant hand are strewn anew;
Rocks!--whence with shadowy grace rude nature low'rsO'er glens and haunted streams!--a long adieu!
And you!--O promised Happiness!--whose
Deluded Fancy heard in every grove,
Bidding this tender, trusting heart,
In the bright prospect of unfailing love:
Though lost to me--still may thy smile
Bless the dear lord of this regretted scene.
