A SONG.
[Be still ye Winds! let ev'ry Breath]
Be still ye Winds! let ev'ry Breath,
Let ev'ry Whisper cease:
As in the quiet Cave of Death,
Thou babling Eccho! Peace!
Let ev'ry Whisper cease:
As in the quiet Cave of Death,
Thou babling Eccho! Peace!
Ye Streams without a Murmur glide;
To nourish deep Despair:
No trembling Osiers by your Side,
Disturb the Midnight Air.
To nourish deep Despair:
No trembling Osiers by your Side,
Disturb the Midnight Air.
Ye conscious Stars, that roll above,
To fix our Fate below;
In solemn Silence as you move
Be Witness to my Woe:
To fix our Fate below;
In solemn Silence as you move
Be Witness to my Woe:
Be Witness to the Vows I made
The Tears I still must pay;
While, like a melancholy Shade,
I shun the Face of Day.
The Tears I still must pay;
While, like a melancholy Shade,
I shun the Face of Day.
