Pale moon! thy mild benignant light
May glad some other's captive sight
Where are the years with pleasure gay
How bright their course! How short their stay!

Helen Maria Williams

No riches from his scanty store
My lover could impart
He gave a boon I valued more—
He gave me all his heart!

Helen Maria Williams

Expression, child of soul! I fondly trace
Thy strong enchantment, when the poet's lyre,
The painter's pencil cathch thy sacred fire,
And beauty wakes for thee her touching grace

Helen Maria Williams
