I feel like one, Who treads alone Some banquet-hall deserted, Whose lights are fled, Whose garlands dead, And all but he departed!

More from Thomas Moore
Self is the medium thro' which Judgment's ray Can seldom pass without being turned astray.
Just as the mind the erring sense believes, The erring mind, in turn, the sense deceives.
Faintly as tolls the evening chime, Our voices keep tune and our oars keep time.
And oh if there be an Elysium on earth, It is this, it is this!
Row, brothers, row, the stream runs fast, The rapids are near, and the daylight's past.
Patience lingers o'er the weedy shore, And, mutely waiting till the storm be o'er, Turns to young Hope, who still directs his eye To some blue spot, just breaking in the sky!
