SWEET BIRD OF SORROW why complain	A
In such soft melody of Song	B
That ECHO am'rous of thy Strain	A
The ling'ring cadence doth prolong	B
Ah tell me tell me why	C
Thy dulcet Notes ascend the sky	C
Or on the filmy vapours glide	D
Along the misty moutain's side	D
And wherefore dost Thou love to dwell	E
In the dark wood and moss grown cell	E
Beside the willow margin'd stream	F
Why dost Thou court wan Cynthia's beam	F
Sweet Songstress if thy wayward fate	G
Hath robb'd Thee of thy bosom's mate	G
Oh think not thy heart piercing moan	H
Evap'rates on the breezy air	I
Or that the plaintive Song of Care	I
Steals from THY Widow'd Breast alone	H
Oft have I heard thy mournful Tale	J
On the high Cliff that o'er the Vale	J
Hangs its dark brow whose awful shade	K
Spreads a deep gloom along the glade	K
Led by its sound I've wander'd far	L
Till crimson evening's flaming Star	L
On Heav'n's vast dome refulgent hung	M
And round ethereal vapours flung	M
And oft I've sought th'HYGEIAN MAID	K
In rosy dimply smiles array'd	K
Till forc'd with every HOPE to part	N
Resistless Pain subdued my Heart	N
	-
Oh then far o'er the restless deep	O
Forlorn my poignant pangs I bore	P
Alone in foreign realms to weep	O
Where ENVY's voice could taunt no more	P
I hop'd by mingling with the gay	Q
To snatch the veil of Grief away	Q
To break Affliction's pond'rous chain	A
VAIN was the Hope in vain I sought	R
The placid hour of careless thought	R
Where Fashion wing'd her light career	S
And sportive Pleasure danc'd along	B
Oft have I shunn'd the blithsome throng	B
To hide th'involuntary tear	I
For e'en where rapt'rous transports glow	T
From the full Heart the conscious tear will flow	T
When to my downy couch remov'd	U
FANCY recall'd my wearied mind	V
To scenes of FRIENDSHIP left behind	V
Scenes still regretted still belov'd	W
Ah then I felt the pangs of Grief	X
Grasp my warm Heart and mock relief	X
My burning lids Sleep's balm defied	D
And on my fev'rish lip imperfect murmurs died	D
	-
Restless and sad I sought once more	P
A calm retreat on BRITAIN's shore	P
Deceitful HOPE e'en there I found	Y
That soothing FRIENDSHIP's specious name	Z
Was but a short liv'd empty sound	Y
And LOVE a false delusive flame	Z
	-
Then come Sweet BIRD and with thy strain	A
Steal from my breast the thorn of pain	A
Blest solace of my lonely hours	A2
In craggy caves and silent bow'rs	A2
When HAPPY Mortals seek repose	A2
By Night's pale lamp we'll chaunt our woes	A2
And as her chilling tears diffuse	A2
O'er the white thorn their silv'ry dews	A2
I'll with the lucid boughts entwine	B2
A weeping Wreath which round my Head	C2
Shall by the waning Cresent shine	B2
And light us to our leafy bed	C2
But ah nor leafy beds nor bow'rs	A2
Fring'd with soft MAY's enamell'd flow'rs	A2
Nor pearly leaves nor Cynthia's beams	A2
Nor smiling Pleasure's shad'wy dreams	A2
Sweet BIRD not e'en THY melting Strains	A2
Can calm the Heart where TYRANT SORROW REIGNS	A2
