In SENSIBILITY'S lov'd praise	A
I tune my trembling reed	B
And seek to deck her shrine with bays	A
On which my heart must bleed	B
	-
No cold exemption from her pain	C
I ever wish to know	D
Cheer'd with her transport I sustain	C
Without complaint her woe	D
	-
Above whate'er content can give	E
Above the charm of ease	F
The restless hopes and fears that live	G
With her have power to please	F
	-
Where but for her were Friendship's power	H
To heal the wounded heart	I
To shorten sorrow's ling'ring hour	H
And bid its gloom depart	I
	-
'Tis she that lights the melting eye	J
With looks to anguish dear	K
She knows the price of every sigh	J
The value of a tear	L
	-
She prompts the tender marks of love	M
Which words can scarce express	N
The heart alone their force can prove	O
And feel how much they bless	N
	-
Of every finer bliss the source	P
'Tis she on love bestows	Q
The softer grace the boundless force	P
Confiding passion knows	Q
	-
When to another the fond breast	R
Each thought for ever gives	S
When on another leans for rest	R
And in another lives	S
	-
Quick as the trembling metal flies	T
When heat or cold impels	T
Her anxious heart to joy can rise	T
Or sink where anguish dwells	T
	-
Yet though her soul must griefs sustain	C
Which she alone can know	D
And feel that keener sense of pain	C
Which sharpens every woe	D
	-
Though she the mourners' grief to calm	U
Still shares each pang they feel	V
And like the tree distilling balm	U
Bleeds others' wounds to heal	V
	-
Though she whose bosom fondly true	W
Has never wish'd to range	X
One alter'd look will trembling view	W
And scarce can bear the change	X
	-
Though she if death the bands should tear	L
She vainly thought secure	Y
Through life must languish in despair	L
That never hopes a cure	Y
	-
Though wounded by some vulgar mind	Z
Unconscious of the deed	B
Who never seeks those wounds to bind	Z
But wonders why they bleed	B
	-
She oft will heave a secret sigh	J
Will shed a lonely tear	L
O'er feelings nature wrought so high	J
And gave on terms so dear	K
	-
Yet who would hard INDIFFERENCE choose	T
Whose breast no tears can steep	A2
Who for her apathy would lose	T
The sacred power to weep	A2
	-
Though in a thousand objects pain	C
And pleasure tremble nigh	J
Those objects strive to reach in vain	C
The circle of her eye	J
	-
Cold as the fabled god appears	T
To the poor suppliant's grief	B2
Who bathes the marble form in tears	T
And vainly hopes relief	B2
	-
Ah GREVILLE why the gifts refuse	T
To souls like thine allied	C2
No more thy nature seem to lose	T
No more thy softness hide	C2
	-
No more invoke the playful sprite	D2
To chill with magic spell	E2
The tender feelings of delight	D2
And anguish sung so well	E2
	-
That envied case thy heart would prove	O
Were sure too dearly bought	F2
With friendship sympathy and love	M
And every finer thought	G2
