NEAR yon bleak mountain's dizzy height	A
That hangs o'er AVON's silent wave	B
By the pale Crescent's glimm'ring light	A
I sought LORENZO's lonely grave	B
	-
O'er the long grass the silv'ry dew	C
Soft Twilight's tears spontaneous shone	D
And the dank bough of baneful yew	C
Supply'd the place of sculptured stone	D
	-
Oft as my trembling steps drew near	E
The a ry voice of FANCY gave	B
The plaint of GENIUS to mine ear	F
That lingering murmur'd on his grave	B
	-
Cold is that heart where honour glow'd	G
And Friendship's flame sublimely shone	D
And clos'd that eye where Pity flow'd	G
For ev'ry suff'ring but HIS OWN	D
	-
That form where youth and grace conspir'd	H
To captivate admiring eyes	I
No more belov'd no more admir'd	H
A torpid mass neglected lies	I
	-
Mute is the music of that tongue	J
Once tuneful as the voice of love	K
When ORPHEUS by his magic song	L
Taught trees and flinty rocks to move	M
	-
Oft shall the pensive MUSE be found	N
Sprinkling with flow'rs his mould'ring clay	O
While soft eyed SORROW wand'ring round	N
Shall pluck intruding weeds away	O
	-
Sad victim of the sordid mind	P
That doom'd THEE to an early grave	B
Ne'er shall HER breast that pity find	P
Which thy forgiveness nobly gave	B
	-
Thou who when SORROW'S icy hand	Q
Forbad the healthsome pulse to flow	R
Obedient to HER stern command	Q
With meek submission bow'd thee low	R
	-
And when thy faded cheek proclaim'd	S
The thorn that rankled in thy breast	T
Thy steady soul that pride maintain'd	U
Which marks the godlike mind distress'd	T
	-
Nor was thy mental strength subdu'd	V
When HOPE's last ling'ring shadows fled	W
Unchang'd thy dauntless spirit view'd	V
The dreary confines of the dead	W
	-
And when thy penetrating mind	P
Life's thorny maze presum'd to scan	X
In ev'ry path condemn'd to find	P
The low ingratitude of man	X
	-
Indignant would'st thou turn away	O
And smiling raise thy languid eye	Y
And oft thy feeble voice would say	O
TO ME 'TIS HAPPINESS TO DIE	Y
	-
And tho' thy FRIEND I with skilful art	Z
To heal thy woes each balm apply'd	Z
Tho' the fine feelings of his heart	Z
Nor cost nor studious care deny'd	Z
	-
He saw the fatal hour draw near	E
He saw THEE fading to the grave	B
He gave his last kind gift A TEAR	A2
And mourn'd the worth he could not save	B
	-
Nor could the ruthless breath of FATE	Z
Snatch from thy grave the tender sigh	Y
Nor a relentless monster's hate	Z
Impede thy passage to the sky	Y
	-
And tho' no kindred tears were shed	Z
No tribute to thy memory giv'n	X
Sublime in death thy spirit fled	Z
To seek its best reward IN HEAVEN	X
