Written Under The Impression That The Author Would Soon Die	A
	-
	-
Adieu thou Hill where early joy	B
Spread roses o'er my brow	C
Where Science seeks each loitering boy	B
With knowledge to endow	C
Adieu my youthful friends or foes	D
Partners of former bliss or woes	D
No more through Ida's paths we stray	E
Soon must I share the gloomy cell	F
Whose ever slumbering inmates dwell	F
Unconscious of the day	E
	-
Adieu ye hoary Regal Fanes	D
Ye spires of Granta's vale	G
Where Learning robed in sable reigns	D
And Melancholy pale	G
Ye comrades of the jovial hour	H
Ye tenants of the classic bower	H
On Cama's verdant margin placed	I
Adieu while memory still is mine	J
For offerings on Oblivion's shrine	J
These scenes must be effaced	I
	-
Adieu ye mountains of the clime	K
Where grew my youthful years	D
Where Loch na Garr in snows sublime	K
His giant summit rears	D
Why did my childhood wander forth	L
From you ye regions of the North	L
With sons of pride to roam	K
Why did I quit my Highland cave	M
Mar's dusky heath and Dee's clear wave	M
To seek a Sotheron home	K
	-
Hall of my Sires a long farewell	F
Yet why to thee adieu	I
Thy vaults will echo back my knell	F
Thy towers my tomb will view	I
The faltering tongue which sung thy fall	N
And former glories of thy Hall	N
Forgets its wonted simple note	I
But yet the Lyre retains the strings	D
And sometimes on olian wings	D
In dying strains may float	I
	-
Fields which surround yon rustic cot	I
While yet I linger here	O
Adieu you are not now forgot	I
To retrospection dear	P
Streamlet along whose rippling surge	Q
My youthful limbs were wont to urge	Q
At noontide heat their pliant course	D
Plunging with ardour from the shore	R
Thy springs will lave these limbs no more	R
Deprived of active force	D
	-
And shall I here forget the scene	S
Still nearest to my breast	I
Rocks rise and rivers roll between	S
The spot which passion blest	I
Yet Mary all thy beauties seem	K
Fresh as in Love's bewitching dream	K
To me in smiles display'd	I
Till slow disease resigns his prey	E
To Death the parent of decay	E
Thine image cannot fade	I
	-
And thou my Friend whose gentle love	T
Yet thrills my bosom's chords	D
How much thy friendship was above	T
Description's power of words	D
Still near my breast thy gift I wear	U
Which sparkled once with Feeling's tear	U
Of Love the pure the sacred gem	K
Our souls were equal and our lot	I
In that dear moment quite forgot	I
Let Pride alone condemn	K
	-
All all is dark and cheerless now	C
No smile of Love's deceit	I
Can warm my veins with wonted glow	V
Can bid Life's pulses beat	I
Not e'en the hope of future fame	K
Can wake my faint exhausted frame	K
Or crown with fancied wreaths my head	I
Mine is a short inglorious race	D
To humble in the dust my face	D
And mingle with the dead	I
	-
Oh Fame thou goddess of my heart	I
On him who gains thy praise	D
Pointless must fall the Spectre's dart	I
Consumed in Glory's blaze	D
But me she beckons from the earth	W
My name obscure unmark'd my birth	W
My life a short and vulgar dream	K
Lost in the dull ignoble crowd	I
My hopes recline within a shroud	I
My fate is Lathe's stream	K
When I repose beneath the sod	I
Unheeded in the clay	E
Where once my playful footsteps trod	I
Where now my head must lay	E
The weed of Pity will be shed	I
In dew drops o'er my narrow bed	I
By nightly skies and storms alone	X
No mortal eye will deign to steep	Y
With tears the dark sepulchral deep	Y
Which hides a name unknown	X
Forget this world my restless sprite	I
Turn turn thy thoughts to Heaven	Z
There must thou soon direct thy flight	I
If errors are forgiven	Z
To bigots and to sects unknown	X
Bow down beneath the Almighty's Throne	X
To Him address thy trembling prayer	U
He who is merciful and just	I
Will not reject a child of dust	I
Although his meanest care	U
	-
Father of Light to Thee I call	N
My soul is dark within	A2
Thou who canst mark the sparrow's fall	N
Avert the death of sin	A2
Thou who canst guide the wandering star	B2
Who calm'st the elemental war	R
Whose mantle is yon boundless sky	A
My thoughts my words my crimes forgive	C2
And since I soon must cease to live	D2
Instruct me how to die	A
