As roam'd a pilgrim o'er the mountain drear	A
On whose lone verge the foaming billows roar	A
The wail of hopeless sorrow pierc'd his ear	A
And swell'd at distance on the sounding shore	A
	-
The mourner breath'd her deep complaint to night	B
Her moan she mingled with the rapid blast	C
That bar'd her bosom in its wasting flight	B
And o'er the earth her scatter'd tresses cast	C
	-
Ye winds she cried still heave the lab'ring deep	D
The mountain shake the howling forest rend	C
Still dash the shiv'ring fragments from the steep	D
Nor for a wretch like me the storm suspend	C
	-
Ah wherefore wish the rising storm to spare	A
Ah why implore the raging winds to save	E
What refuge can the breast where lives despair	A
Desire but death what shelter but the grave	E
	-
To me congenial is the gloom of night	C
The savage howlings that infest the air	A
I unappall'd can view the fatal light	C
That issues from the pointed lightning's glare	A
	-
And yet erewhile if night her shadows threw	A
O'er the known woodlands of my native vale	F
Fancy in visions wild the landscape drew	A
And swell'd with boding sounds the whisp'ring gale	F
	-
But deep despair has arm'd my timid soul	G
And agony has numb'd the throb of fear	A
Taught a weak heart its terrors to controul	G
And more to court than shun the danger near	A
	-
Yet could I welcome the return of light	C
Its glimm'ring beam might guide my searching eye	H
The sacred spot might then emerge from night	C
On which a lover's bleeding relics lie	H
	-
For sure 'twas here as late a shepherd stray'd	C
Bewilder'd o'er the mountain's dreary bound	C
Close to the pointed cliff he saw him laid	C
Where heav'd the waters of the deep around	C
	-
Alas no longer could his heart endure	A
The woes that heart was doom'd for me to prove	I
He sought for death for death the only cure	A
That fate has not refus'd to hopeless love	J
	-
My sire unjust while passion swell'd his breast	C
From the lov'd ALFRED his EUPHELIA tore	A
Mock'd the keen sorrows that my soul opprest	C
And bade me vainly bade me love no more	A
	-
He told me love was like yon troubled deep	D
Whose restless billows never know repose	K
Are wildly dash'd upon the rocky steep	D
And tremble to the slightest breeze that blows	K
	-
From those rude scenes remote her gentle balm	L
Dear to the suff'ring spirit peace applies	M
Peace 'tis th' oblivious lake's detested calm	L
Whose dull slow waters never fall or rise	M
	-
Ah what avails a parent's stern command	C
The force of conqu'ring passion to subdue	C
Ah wherefore seek to rend with cruel hand	C
The ties enchanted love so fondly drew	C
	-
Yet I could see my ALFRED'S fix'd despair	A
And aw'd by filial fear conceal my woes	K
My coward heart could separation bear	A
And check the struggling anguish as it rose	K
	-
'Twas guilt the barb'rous mandate to obey	N
Which bade no parting sigh my bosom move	I
Victim of duty's unrelenting sway	N
I seem'd a traitor while a slave to love	J
	-
Let her who seal'd a lover's fate endure	A
The sharpest pressure of deserv'd distress	O
'Twere added perfidy to seek a cure	A
And stain'd with falsehood wish to suffer less	O
	-
For wretches doom'd in other griefs to pine	P
Oft will benignant hope her ray impart	C
And pity oft from her celestial shrine	P
Drop a warm tear upon the fainting heart	C
	-
But o'er the lasting gloom of love's despair	A
Can hope's bright ray its cheering visions shed	C
Can pity sooth the woes that breast must bear	A
Which vainly loves and vainly mourns the dead	C
	-
No ling'ring still and still prolong'd the moan	Q
Shall never pause 'till heaves my latest breath	R
Till memory's distracting pang is flown	Q
And all my sorrows shall be hush'd in death	R
	-
And death is pitying come whose hand shall tear	A
From this afflicted heart the sense of pain	S
My fainting limbs refuse their load to bear	A
And life no longer will my form sustain	S
	-
Yet once did health's enliv'ning glow adorn	T
And pleasure shed for me her loveliest ray	N
Pure as the gentle star that gilds the morn	T
And constant as the equal light of day	N
	-
Now those lost pleasures trac'd by mem'ry seem	U
Like yon illusive meteor's glancing light	C
That o'er the darkness threw its instant gleam	U
Then sunk and vanish'd in the depth of night	C
	-
My native vale and thou delightful bower	A
Scenes to my hopeless love for ever dear	A
Sweet vale for whom the morning wak'd her flower	A
Fresh bower for whom the evening pour'd her tear	A
	-
I ask no more to see your beauties rise	M
Ye rocks and mountains on whose rugged breast	C
My ALFRED murder'd by EUPHELIA lies	M
In your deep solitudes I come to rest	C
	-
And sure the dawning ray that lights the steep	D
And slowly wanders o'er the purple wave	E
Will shew me where his sacred relics sleep	D
Will lead his mourner to her destin'd grave	E
	-
O'er the high precipice unmov'd she bent	C
A fearful path the beams of morning shew	C
The pilgrim reach'd with toil the rude ascent	C
And saw her brooding o'er the deep below	G
	-
EUPHELIA stay he cried thy ALFRED calls	V
O stay in desperation yet more dear	A
I come in vain the tender accent falls	V
Alas it reach'd not her distracted ear	A
	-
Ah what avails she said that morning rose	K
With fruitless pain I seek his mould'ring clay	N
Vain search to fill the measure of my woes	K
The foaming surge has wash'd his corse away	N
	-
This cruel agony why longer bear	A
Death death alone can all my pangs remove	I
Kind death will banish from my heart despair	A
And when I live again I live to love	J
	-
She said and plung'd into the awful deep	D
He saw her meet the fury of the wave	E
He frantic saw and darting to the steep	D
With desp'rate anguish sought her wat'ry grave	E
	-
He clasp'd her dying form he shar'd her sighs	M
He check'd the billow rushing on her breast	C
She felt his dear embrace her closing eyes	M
Were fix'd on ALFRED and her death was blest	C
