An ELEGIACK SONNET.
WIERE is my lover, and my friend?
Surely he will not linger long;
He early us’d to seek my cot,
And cheer me with his dulcet song.
Where is my lover, and my friend ?
Sadder the pensive twilight grows;
Its latest gleams are now no more,
The fereech owl flaps, the north wind blows.
Where is my lover, and my friend ?
Hark I the hoarse thunder steels around ;
Nearer and louder are its peals :
The livid lightnings lkii» the ground.
Where is my lover, and my friend ?
The florm is pafl, the Iky is clear ;
I’ll leave my cot, and trace the path,
Which, each dear evening, brings him here.
Where is my lover, and my friend ?
My eye darts o’er the mead, the vale :
He is not there !—What 1 caus’d his flay ?
I’ll chide nor listen to his tale.
Where is my lover, and my friend ?
Perhaps he loiters thro* the grove;
I’ll thither bend my eager Heps—
Guide them, kind fortune, to my love $
There is my lover, and my friend !
I know his dear, his graceful form ;
Yon lofty oak supports his head—
Its foliage kept him from the florm.
O speak, my lover, and my friend I
See ! anxious thro’ the night I came;
I scorn the babbling neighbour’s talk,
Nor heed their comments, or their blame.
Oh gracious God! my hair upheaves
Thou didll the blasting lightning fend :
I fink; oh neighbours, dig the grave—
I join my lover, and my friend.
