SONNET LIX.
[Where is that crowd of friends that could dispense]
14th Nov. 1807.
Where is that crowd of friends that could dispense
Refreshing rapture to life's sunny morn?
Where are those loves, affections, that are born
Of freedom, sentiment, and confidence?
'Tis silent all! a blank to every sense!
The energy of life, that used to scorn
The rule of pale experience, is withdrawn!
That power ere while so buoyant and intense!
Yet there is One who faithful still remains,
Who loves my solitude, as once she lov'd
My cheer in social life: who loves my joy,
Nor flies my couch when gnawing sickness reigns:
She, like the minister of heaven, hath prov'd
That “time and chance” can true love ne'er destroy.
