SONG.

[Farewel to the fragrance of morn]

Farewel to the fragrance of morn;
Farewel to the song of the grove—
I go from my Delia forlorn;
I go from the daughter of Love!
I was told that I ought not to gaze
On the beauty by which I'm undone;
But how could I hide from their rays?
What mortal can fly from the sun?
