LINES by a Frenchman, on bis being obliged to flee
bis country in 1792*
ADIEU! mv native place adieu!
And must I really part fro n you;
From you, which had a thousand charmj,
From you, which nurs’d me in your arms!
Alas! how dreary is the day,
Which’ nortal man has hue to pay.
The morning hours were scarcely past;
Oh! that these hours had been my last!
The noon tide heat was not arrived;
Oil! -that tili then I’d not surviv’d!
For now to friends and country lost,
J’m on a foreign ocean toss'd.
y e t, oh! mv (rod, thy will be done.
If I must see the setting sun,
Grant that 1 may mv virtue keep,
Tili I in Jesus fall asleep.
How short, how short the life of man!
Yet oh! how chequer’d is the span!
ODE TO INNOCENCE.
HAIL Innocence! Sweet lovely maid!
In ev’ry blushing charm array’d,
That e’er can warm the hreast;
With thee attend a smiling train,
Whose care, to free the heart irom pain.
And lead to downy rest.
Sweet smiling Peace attends thv sway,
And Pie isme beams its brightest ray,
Where’ r thy footsteps tread—
Inspiring Love—celestial child!
With 1 oks enticing, soft, and mild,
l>y thee is ever Ed. v
Enrapt’ring Hope, whose soothing pow’r
Extracts the tb^rn —hut leaves th efljw'r
Within the throbbing he,.rt,
For thee its richest displays,
AnJ> smiling, points to blissful ways,
From ev’ry woe apart.
With hagg ru steps p le trembling Fear,
When thy enchanting form is near,
111 wild confusion hits;
For Guilt c : .n ne’er unruffled stand,
w hen Purity and Virtue bland
Khse up their gtnde eyes.
Whether in Solitude’s retreat
Thou liold’st thy j silent, peaceful seat,
Or dweil’st in s enes more gay,
Yet Bliss, with all her lovei band,
Un'ted kindly band in band,
do thee shall ever stray.
For thee all Nature sheds her charms,
And ev’ry feeling grateful warms;—
For thee—Heav’r.s fav'rite child—
The feather’d songsters cf the grove
r l line all their warbling notes to love
In carols sweetly wild.
For who the blissful joys of Love,
On Nature’s loveliest scenes can move,
Without a virt’ous mind?
Ct who sweet Music’s pow’r can, feel,
Whose senseless heart is cas’d with rteel,
To ev’rv beauty blind?
Celestial Maid! with thee alone
Is Beauty’s fairest bud e’er known
In ptrftdl hue to bloom;
Though fine proportion dress the face,
ulorn’d with ev’ry artful grace,
Without thee -—all is gloom.
But where thy heav’nly graces shine
Fair Beauty and the mind refine
For ever shall endure;
Those outward charms which all admite,
Which light the heart with chaste desire,
Delightful, bright, and pure.
•
The woes of life no pow’r can find
To fill with care thy spotless mind,
Or mu mi’ring sigh to raise; ~HA
For where sweet Virtue smiles confest,
Around her shine soft peace and rtsf, :
And Love for ever plays.
Within thy snowy tender breast,
With even- finer feeling blest,
• Mild Pity loves to glow,
To wipe the tear from Mis’ry’s eye,
To change to smiles Affliction’s sigh,
And .soothe the Orphan’s w oe.
Such arc thy charms, the: lieav’nly maid!
Such are the joys to Virtue paid,
Which time can never lose;
Each year, each month, each day, each hour,
For thee unfolds some hidde < How r,
Sweet as the blooming rose.
