May glad some other's captive sight
Where are the years with pleasure gay
How bright their course! How short their stay!

My lover could impart

Yet soft the billows roll;
Alas! at every breeze I weep —

Thy strong enchantment, when the poet's lyre,
The painter's pencil cathch thy sacred fire,
And beauty wakes for thee her touching grace
