SONNET, Written early in the Morning.
Come morning gleam and linger on my breast!
Come early gale and pour thy od'rous wealth!
And oh! bring Peace! a long forgotten guest,
Ye subtle ministers of mental health!
Come early gale and pour thy od'rous wealth!
And oh! bring Peace! a long forgotten guest,
Ye subtle ministers of mental health!
Go sallow Care! nor Nature's scenes prophane
With the blank aspect of thy sombre eye:
Ah go and torture the unhallow'd train,
Who sunk in deep repose supinely lie.
With the blank aspect of thy sombre eye:
Ah go and torture the unhallow'd train,
Who sunk in deep repose supinely lie.
I'll own thee not—for Fortune's gifts I scorn,
And pitying view the puny aims of Pride;
Give me the lustre of the glowing morn,
Give Nature's charms—I care for nought beside!
Come then soft zephyr, come thou orient ray,
Come, and forebode at least,—one peaceful day.
And pitying view the puny aims of Pride;
Give me the lustre of the glowing morn,
Give Nature's charms—I care for nought beside!
Come then soft zephyr, come thou orient ray,
Come, and forebode at least,—one peaceful day.
