And bless her father's guardian name,
And long his loved protection claim.
Still may'st thou here be ever blest,
And go at last to blissful rest.
And long his loved protection claim.
Still may'st thou here be ever blest,
And go at last to blissful rest.
Adieu; these pains, augmenting fast,
Rack every nerve, and check the last,
The fond remembrance of thy worth,
That fain would breathe thy beauties forth;
But pangs imperious cry—"Obey!"—
And nature faints beneath their sway.
Once more, farewell, my gentle friend;
May guardian angels all thy life attend!
Rack every nerve, and check the last,
The fond remembrance of thy worth,
That fain would breathe thy beauties forth;
But pangs imperious cry—"Obey!"—
And nature faints beneath their sway.
Once more, farewell, my gentle friend;
May guardian angels all thy life attend!
WOMAN'S SYMPATHY.TO A LADY.1828.
When doomed to agonizing pain,
And hope's dim taper cheerless burns,
Blest Sympathy, with voice benign,
Complaint to resignation turns.
And hope's dim taper cheerless burns,
Blest Sympathy, with voice benign,
Complaint to resignation turns.
