The Fall of the Leaf | ||
IX.
Beneath thy ray pale Melancholy roves,In awful silence, to yon ruin'd tower;
Beneath whose ivied arch profoundly sleeps
The history of ages.—There she sits,
Musing the midnight on the varied change
Of earthly objects;—on the varied ills
That wring the bosom of the sensitive young,
And reasoning old:—and, sighing from the soul,
Deeply laments, how oft the sacred form
Of Virtue bends before the frown of Fate.
