LINES WRITTEN ON A BLANK LEAF OF THE PLEASURES OF MEMORY.
1
Absent or present, still to thee,My friend, what magic spells belong!
As all can tell, who share, like me,
In turn thy converse, and thy song.
2
But when the dreaded hour shall comeBy Friendship ever deemed too nigh,
And “Memory” o'er her Druid's tomb
Shall weep that aught of thee can die,
3
How fondly will she then repayThy homage offered at her shrine,
And blend, while ages roll away,
Her name immortally with thine!
April 19, 1812.
