SONG.
Ah! where are they, who heard, in former hours,
The voice of Song in these neglected bow'rs?
They are gone—all gone!
The voice of Song in these neglected bow'rs?
They are gone—all gone!
The youth, who told his pain in such sweet tone,
That all, who heard him, wish'd his pain their own—
He is gone—he is gone!
That all, who heard him, wish'd his pain their own—
He is gone—he is gone!
34
And she, who, while he sung, sat listening by,
And thought, to strains like these 'twere sweet to die—
She is gone—she too is gone!
And thought, to strains like these 'twere sweet to die—
She is gone—she too is gone!
'Tis thus, in future hours, some bard will say
Of her, who hears, and him, who sings this lay—
They are gone—they both are gone!
Of her, who hears, and him, who sings this lay—
They are gone—they both are gone!
