I	A
	-
O Thou who glad'st the pensive soul	B
More than Aurora's smile the swain forlorn	C
Left all night long to mourn	C
Where desolation frowns and tempests howl	D
And shrieks of wo as intermits the storm	E
Far o'er the monstrous wilderness resound	F
And cross the gloom darts many a shapeless form	E
And many a fire eyed visage glares around	F
O come and be once more my guest	G
And oft with smiles indulgent cheer'd	H
And soothed him into rest	G
	-
I	A
Smit by thy rapture beaming eye	A
Deep flashing through the midnight of their mind	I
The sable bands combined	I
Where Fear's black banner bloats the troubled sky	A
Appall'd retire Suspicion hides her head	J
Nor dares th' obliquely gleaming eyeball raise	K
Despair with gorgon figured veil o'erspread	J
Speeds to dark Phlegethon's detested maze	K
Lo startled at the heavenly ray	L
With speed unwonted Indolence upsprings	K
And heaving lifts her leaden wings	K
And sullen glides away	L
	-
I	A
Ten thousand forms by pining Fancy view'd	J
Dissolve Above the sparkling flood	J
When Phoebus rears his awful brow	M
From lengthening lawn and volley low	N
The troops of fen born mists retire	O
Along the plain	P
The joyous swain	P
Eyes the gay villages again	Q
And gold illuminated spire	O
While on the billowy ether borne	C
Floats loose lay's jovial measure	R
And light along the fairy Pleasure	R
Her green robes glittering to the morn	C
Wantons on silken wing And goblins all	S
To the damp dungeon shrink or hoary hall	S
Or westward with impetuous flight	J
Shoot to the desert realms of their congenial Night	J
	-
II	A
When first on Childhood's eager gaze	K
Life's varied landscape stretch'd immense around	J
Starts out of night profound	J
Thy voice incites to tempt th' untrodden maze	K
Fond he surveys thy mild maternal face	K
His bashful eye still kindling as he views	K
And while thy lenient arm supports his pace	K
With beating heart the upland path pursues	K
The path that leads where hung sublime	T
And seen afar youth's gallant trophies bright	J
In fancy's rainbow ray invite	J
His wingy nerves to climb	T
	-
II	A
Pursue thy pleasurable way	L
Safe in the guidance of thy heavenly guard	J
While melting airs are heard	J
And soft eyed cherub forms around thee play	L
Simplicity in careless flowers array'd	J
Prattling amusive in his accent meek	U
And modesty half turning as afraid	J
The smile just dimpling on his glowing cheek	U
Content and Leisure hand in hand	J
With innocence and Peace advance and sing	V
And Mirth in many a mazy ring	V
Frisks o'er the flowery land	J
	-
II	A
Frail man how various is thy lot below	N
To day tho' gales propitious blow	N
And Peace soft gliding down the sky	A
Lead Love along and Harmony	W
To morrow the gay scene deforms	K
Then all around	J
The thunder's sound	J
Rolls rattling on through heaven's profound	J
And down rush all the storms	K
Ye days that balmy influence shed	J
When sweet Childhood ever sprightly	W
In paths of pleasure sported lightly	W
Whither ah whither are ye fled	J
Ye cherub train that brought him on his way	L
O leave him not midst tumult and dismay	L
For now youth's eminence he gains	K
But what a weary length of lingering toil remains	K
	-
III	A
They shrink they vanish into air	X
Now slander taints with pestilence the gale	Y
And mingling cries assail	Y
The wail of Wo and groan of grim Despair	X
Lo wizard Envy from his serpent eye	A
Darts quick destruction in each baleful glance	K
Pride smiling stern and yellow Jealousy	W
Frowning Disdain and haggard Hate advance	K
Behold amidst the dire array	L
Pale wither'd Care his giant stature rears	K
And lo his iron hand prepares	K
To grasp its feeble prey	L
	-
III	A
Who now will guard bewilder'd youth	Z
Safe from the fierce assault of hostile rage	A2
Such war can Virtue wage	A2
Alas full oft on Guilt's victorious car	B2
The spoils of Virtue are in triumph borne	C
While the fair captive mark'd with many a scar	B2
In lone obscurity oppress'd forlorn	C
Resigns to tears her angel form	E
Ill fated youth then whither wilt thou fly	A
No friend no shelter now is nigh	A
And onward rolls the storm	E
	-
III	A
But whence the sudden beam that shoots along	C2
Why shrink aghast the hostile throng	C2
Lo from amidst Affliction's night	J
Hope bursts all radiant on the sight	J
Her words the troubled bosom sooth	Z
'Why thus dismay'd	J
Though foes invade	J
Hope ne'er is wanting to their aid	J
'Tis I who smooth the rugged way	L
I who close the eyes of sorrow	N
And with glad visions of to morrow	N
Repair the weary soul's decay	L
When Death's cold touch thrills to the freezing heart	J
Dreams of heaven's opening glories I impart	J
Till the freed spirit springs on high	A
In rapture too severe for weak mortality '	-
