Gone from her cheek is (he su mer bloom,
And her breath has los’ its fu it perfume ;
And the gloss has dropp’d frorllw gulden hair,
And her forehead is pale, thou It no longer fair.
And the spirit that sat in her •■H blue eye
Is sunk in cold mona.it; ; 1
And the smile tnat played on «?r lip is fled,
And every giacc has left the c ad.
Like slaves they obeyed in he jht of power,
But left her ail in her wintry 1 ur ;
And the crowds that saoic foi :er love to die,
Shrunk from tire tune of her p ting sigh
And this is man’s h ?luy !

Can see all those idols of life d >art;
And love the more, and soothe [and bless
