ENLIGHTEN'D Patron of the sacred LyreA
Whose ever varying ever witching songB
Revibrates on the heartC
With magic thrilling touchD
Till ev'ry nerve with quiv'ring throb divineE
In madd'ning tumults owns thy wondrous pow'rF
For well thy dulcet notesG
Can wind the mazy songB
In labyrinth of wild fantastic formH
Or with empassion'd pathos woo the soulI
With sounds more sweetly mildJ
Than SAPPHO's plaint forlornK
When bending o'er the wave she sung her woesL
While pitying ECHO hover'd o'er the deepM
Till in their coral cavesN
The tuneful NEREIDES weptO
AH whither art thou flown where pours thy songB
The model and the pride of British bardsN
Sweet STAR of FANCY's orbP
O tell me tell me whereQ
-
Say dost thou waste it on the viewless airQ
That bears it to the confines of high Heav'nK
Or does it court the meedO
Of proud pre eminenceN
Or steals it o'er the glitt'ring Sapphire waveR
Calming the tempest with its silver soundsN
Or does it charm to loveS
The fond believing maidO
Or does it hover o'er the ALPINE steepM
Or softly breathing under myrtle shadesN
With SYMPATHY divineK
Solace the child of woeT
Where'er thou art Oh let thy gentle strainK
Again with magic pow'r delight mine earU
Untutor'd in the spellsN
And mysteries of songB
Then on the margin of the deep I'll museN
And bless the rocking bark ordain'd to bearQ
My sad heart o'er the waveR
From this ungrateful isleV
When the wan queen of night with languid eyeW
Peeps o'er the mountain's head or thro' the valeX
Illumes the glassy brookY
Or dew besprinkled heathZ
Or with her crystal lamp directs the feetO
Of the benighted TRAV'LLER cold and sadO
Thro' the long forest drearQ
And pathless labyrinthA2
To the poor PEASANT's hospitable cotO
For ever open to the wretch forlornK
O then I'll think on THEEB2
And iterate thy strainK
And chaunt thy matchless numbers o'er and o'erQ
And I will court the sullen ear of nightO
To bear the rapt'rous soundO
On her dark shad'wy wingC2
To where encircled by the sacred NINEK
Thy LYRE awakes the never dying songB
Now BARD admir'd farwelX
The white sail flutters loudO
The gaudy streamers lengthen in the galeX
Far from my native shore I bend my wayD2
Yet as my aching eyeW
Shall view the less'ning cliffE2
'Till its stupendous head shall scarce appearQ
Above the surface of the swelling deepM
I'll snatch a ray of hopeF2
For HOPE's the lamp divineK
That lights and vivifies the fainting soulX
With extacies beyond the pow'rs of songB
That ere I reach those banksN
Where the loud TIBER flowsN
Or milder ARNO slowly steals alongB
To the soft music of the summer breezeN
The wafting wing of TIMEG2
May bear this last ADIEUO
This wild untutor'd picture of the heartO
To HIM whose magic verse INSPIR'D THE STRAINK
