The WISH.
As in a vale thro' silent groves,A little pleasing riv'let roves;
Now here now there delights to stray,
And cheats with murm'ring songs the way;
'Till weary with the wandring race,
It sinks into it's Sire's embrace,
In some lone place thus pass my life,
Unvex'd with anxious cares and strife:
66
Gives way to gloomy shades of night;
Weary with sport, with sleep oppress'd,
I'd gently sink to endless rest.
