A FRAGMENT.
I love the labyrinth, the silent glade,For soft repose, and conscious rapture made;
The melancholy murmurs of the rill,
The moaning zephyrs, and the breezy hill;
The torrent, roaring from the flinty steep,
The morning gales that o'er the landscape sweep,
The shade that dusky twilight meekly draws
O'er the calm interval of nature's pause!
'Till the chaste moon, slow stealing o'er the plain,
Wraps the dark mountain in her silv'ry train!
Soothing, with sympathetic tears, the breast
That seeks for solitude, and sighs for rest!
