[Come down, ye dark brow'd ministers of thought]
[Can I not lay me down, at once, and die?]
[Thou wilt remark my fate, when I am dead]
[Ambition owns no friend—yet be thou mine]
[To-morrow, I shall have no charge in life]
[The barque is ready, for your carriage hence]
[Ay, I have heard enough]
[Last night, the moon shone suddenly in streams]
[It was a picture of much loveliness]
[My child, my beautiful child, when I am gone]
[I saw it in my dream. O! could I task]
[Thou hast enamor'd me of woodland scenes]
[Ah! me, that sleeping, like Endymion]
[Moonlight is down among the pleasant hills]
[Sweetness, and gamesome images, surround]
[Come, sit thee down beside me—I would rest]
[The spirits that do dress the flow'rs with dew]
[I think, good shepherd, you did dream of this]
FAREWELL TO IDA.
