 | The poetical works of John Nicholson |  |
Death and Disease my solemn muses be;
Throw o'er my soul a sickbed's canopy;
Let Sorrow dictate every mournful line,
And, true Repentance, let the strains be thine!
Tears wet the page, while falling like the rain,
O'er my two friends by wine untimely slain.
Throw o'er my soul a sickbed's canopy;
Let Sorrow dictate every mournful line,
And, true Repentance, let the strains be thine!
Tears wet the page, while falling like the rain,
O'er my two friends by wine untimely slain.
