"How shall I leave thee, oh! my love, And blooming progeny? If I without thee mount above, Twill be no heavn to me."
"Though such the darkness of my soul, Not such the calmness there; But waves of guilt tumultuous roll Midst billows of despair."
"Come Grief, and sing a solemn dirge Beneath this midnight shade; From central darkness now emerge, And tread the lonely glade."
"There give thy griefs full vent to flow Oer the unconscious dead, With no spectator to thy woe But my attendant shade."
"Tell me thou all pervading mind, When I this life forsake, Must evry tender tie unbind, Each sweet connection break?"
