MEM: SAC: MATT. DISNEY—ARCHIB. BRAKENRIDGE.
Spirits, long loos'd from mortal care,
If haply down your fields of air
A momentary glance ye cast,
And see a lonely lingerer stray
Thro' paths, where oft in prankful play,
With you his younger foot hath past!
If haply down your fields of air
A momentary glance ye cast,
And see a lonely lingerer stray
Thro' paths, where oft in prankful play,
With you his younger foot hath past!
Accept the sudden tear, that steals
Along his cheek.—For sure he feels
The genuine impulse of the Muse;
Who leading Memory back to you,
Friends as ye were!—reminds him too,
What Friends himself was doom'd to lose!
Along his cheek.—For sure he feels
The genuine impulse of the Muse;
Who leading Memory back to you,
Friends as ye were!—reminds him too,
What Friends himself was doom'd to lose!
