Breathing the violet scented gale	A
Near to a river's limpid source	B
Which through a wide extended vale	A
Wound slowly on its sleeping course	B
	-
Attended by a youthful pair	C
With rubied lip and roving eye	D
Oft would fair Editha repair	C
And let her children wander nigh	D
	-
There pleas'd behold their footsteps turn	E
To each new object in their way	F
Their ringlets glittering in the sun	G
Their faces careless blythe and gay	F
	-
Once when they drest their flaxen hair	C
With flow'rets wild of various hue	H
And with a proud exulting air	C
To their delighted parent drew	H
	-
Ah thus may every day arise	I
And pleasure thus your hearts pervade	J
The widow'd mother fondly cries	I
Before the youthful blossoms fade	J
	-
My sighs are all dispers'd in air	C
Resign'd to fate I weep no more	K
Your welfare now is all my care	C
Yet am I constant as before	K
	-
The world because a vermil bloom	L
Tinges my yet unfading cheek	M
Says I forget my William's tomb	L
A new and earthly love to seek	M
	-
Because I join the social train	N
With lip that wears a kindred smile	O
And a gay sonnet's lively strain	N
Does oft the lonely hour beguile	O
	-
Because no longer now I mourn	P
With sweeping robes of sable hue	H
No more I clasp the marble urn	E
Or vainly bid the world adieu	H
	-
Ah ill my secret soul they know	Q
Where my lost hero still remains	R
Where memory makes my bosom glow	Q
And binds me still in closer chains	R
	-
Whoe'er hath seen my William's form	S
Heighten'd with every martial grace	T
The ever varying unknown charm	U
Wich beam'd in his expressive face	T
	-
Or heard his fine ideas try	D
In Fancy's fairy garb to teach	V
While the sweet language of his eye	D
Excell'd the eloquence of speech	V
	-
Could ne'er suppose my faith would fail	A
Or aught again this heart enslave	W
That absence would o'er love prevail	A
Or hope be bounded by the grave	W
	-
Could all but I his merit know	Q
His wit and talents see	X
And is his name by all below	Q
Remember'd but by me	X
	-
No ne'er will I the memory lose	Y
Though from my sight thy form is flown	Z
Of tenderness for other's woes	A2
And noble firmness in thy own	Z
	-
No slavish fear thy soul deprest	H
Of Death or his attendant train	N
For in thy pure and spotless breast	H
The fear of heav'n did only reign	N
	-
Thus when the still unsated waves	B2
Spread o'er thy head their whelming arms	C2
When horrid darkness reign'd around	H
And lightnings flash'd their dire alarms	C2
	-
When wing'd with death each moment flew	H
And blood the foaming ocean stain'd	H
Thy courage cool consistent true	H
Its native energy maintain'd	H
	-
And when the fatal moment came	D2
The bullet enter'd in thy side	H
Only thy spirit's beauteous frame	D2
Its prisoner flying droop'd and died	H
	-
This is it that consoles my mind	H
Which to my love aspiring flies	I
And makes me hope in future days	E2
To hail my William in the skies	I
	-
Should tears from my pale eyelids steal	F2
I teach my children's how to flow	Q
And make their little bosoms feel	F2
Before their time the touch of woe	Q
	-
I will not weep the world shall see	X
That I a nobler tribute pay	F
More grateful both to heaven and thee	X
By guiding them in virtue's way	F
	-
Embracing then her fondest cares	G2
She cast her raptur'd eyes above	H2
And breath'd to heav'n emphatic pray'rs	G2
Of mingled reverence and love	H2
