POETRY.
From the COLUMBIAN MAGAZINE .
To L A V I N I A. \
* From Fluffing.
\ W HILE pcnfivc, silent thy Matilda roves,
A With lonely footfteps through the wither’3
groves ;
|j§ And not a charm, of all so late, remains
To cheer the foul, and vivify her strains:
Let this grave lay her dear regard impart;
And wake rememb’rance in Lavinia’ heart.
Serenely fad, with carelcfs feet, I tread
Thcfolitary way to yonder lhade.
There pafs’d my infant hours, unknown to care,
And mem’ry. wakes the fad reflection there.
When sportive heedless childhood render’d gay
And rob’d in gladness each succeeding day.
Yet judge not hence, my friend, that I repine,
Or wtih again to call these moiur ts mine.
With pleas’d regret I view them, not deplore
Wiiat time’s long circuit never mult restore.
Perhaps, when with a hasty course, the fun
/ Shall have his next succeeding journey run ;
Some unregarded charm, this Hate may boast;
And future rctrofpedion mourn it loft.
Then grant, ye pow’rs, that calm content may rule,
Through ev’ry varying destiny my foul.
• And vvhatfoc’cr lhall be the portion given,
May not repining murmur rife to Heaven.
For soon the longest date of life is o’er,
When guilt and sorrow vex the foul no mori.
