To a Girl, who was complaining that she had forgotten her Sister's Birthday.

Grieve not though Mary's birthday pass'd
Without one joyous rhyme;
When days are bright, and hours fly fast,
Who measures bliss by time?

When grief has dimmed our darkling way,
Such lonely gleams are dear:
But who can mark one happy day,
If happy through the year?

Such sweet forgetfulness be thine!
So ever live and love!
No need of gift, or votive line,
The fond, glad heart to prove.

Nov. 1810.
