The poems and literary prose of Alexander Wilson | ||
When darkness reigns, or ev'ning silence deep,
Some moments rescue from the jaws of sleep;
Bid your sweet Muse unfold her downy wings,
And teach a youth to touch the trembling strings;
Dispel his doubts, arouse his hovering flame,
And point the road that leads to bliss and fame.
Some moments rescue from the jaws of sleep;
Bid your sweet Muse unfold her downy wings,
And teach a youth to touch the trembling strings;
Dispel his doubts, arouse his hovering flame,
And point the road that leads to bliss and fame.
