When faint and sad o'er sorrow's desert wild	A
Slow journeys onward poor misfortune's child	A
When fades each lovely form by fancy drest	A
And inly pines the self consuming breast	A
No scourge of scorpions in thy right arm dread	A
No helmed terrors nodding o'er thy head	A
Assume O death the cherub wings of peace	B
And bid the heart sick wanderer's anguish cease	B
	-
Thee Chatterton yon unblest stones protect	A
From want and the bleak freezings of neglect	A
Escaped the sore wounds of affliction's rod	A
Meek at the throne of mercy and of God	A
Perchance thou raisest high th' enraptured hymn	C
Amid the blaze of seraphin	C
	-
Yet oft 'tis nature's call	D
I weep that heaven born genius so should fall	D
And oft in fancy's saddest hour my soul	E
Averted shudders at the poisoned bowl	E
Now groans my sickening heart as still I view	F
Thy corse of livid hue	F
And now a flash of indignation high	G
Darts thro' the tear that glistens in mine eye	G
	-
Is this the land of song ennobled line	C
Is this the land where genius ne'er in vain	C
Pour'd forth his lofty strain	C
Ah me yet Spenser gentlest bard divine	C
Beneath chill disappointment's shade	A
His weary limbs in lonely anguish laid	A
And o'er her darling dead	A
Pity hopeless hung her head	A
While 'mid the pelting of that merciless storm	H
Sunk to the cold earth Otway's famished form	H
	-
Sublime of thought and confident of fame	I
From vales where Avon winds the minstrel came	I
Lighted hearted youth he hastes along	J
And meditates the future song	J
How dauntless AElla fray'd the Dacian foes	K
See as floating high in air	L
Glitter teh sunny visions fair	L
His eyes dance rapture and his bosom glows	K
	-
Ah where are fled the charms of vernal grace	M
And joy's wild gleams light flashing o'er thy face	M
Youth of tumultuous soul and haggard eye	G
Thy wasted form thy hurried steps I view	F
On thy cold forehead starts the anguished dew	F
And dreadful was that bosom rending sigh	G
	-
Such were the struggles of that gloomy hour	N
When care of withered brow	O
Prepared the poison's power	N
Already to thy lips was raised the bowl	E
When near thee stood affection meek	P
Her bosom bare and wildly pale her cheek	P
Thy sullen gaze she bade thee roll	E
On scenes that well might melt thy soul	E
Thy native cot she flashed upon thy view	F
Thy native cot where still at close of day	A
Peace smiling sate and listened to thy lay	A
Thy sister's shrieks she bade thee hear	Q
And mark thy mother's tear	L
See see her breast's convulsive throe	L
Her silent agony of woe	R
Ah dash the poisoned chalice from thy hand	A
	-
And thou hadst dashed it at her soft command	A
But that despair and indignation rose	K
And told again the story of thy woes	K
Told the keen insult of th' unfeeling heart	A
The dread dependence on the low born mind	A
Told ev'ry pang with which thy soul must smart	A
Neglect and grinning scorn and want combined	A
Recoiling quick thou bad'st the friend of pain	C
Roll the black tide of death thro' every freezing vein	C
	-
Ye woods that wave o'er Avon's rocky steep	S
To fancy's ear sweet is your murm'ring deep	S
For here she loves the cypress wreath to weave	T
Watching with wistful eye the sadd'ning tints of eve	T
Here far from men amid this pathless grove	U
In solemn thought the minstrel wont to rove	U
Like star beam on the slow sequestered tide	A
Lone glittering thro' the high tree branching wide	A
And here in inspiration's eager hour	L
When most the big soul feels the madd'ning power	L
These wilds these caverns roaming o'er	L
Round which the screaming sea gulls soar	L
With wild unequal steps he passed along	J
Oft pouring on the winds a broken song	J
Anon upon some rough rock's fearful brow	L
Would pause abrupt and gaze upon the waves below	R
	-
Poor Chatterton he sorrows for thy fate	A
Who would have praised and loved thee ere too late	A
Poor Chatterton farewell of darkest hues	V
This chaplet cast I on thy shapeless tomb	W
But dare no longer on the sad theme muse	V
Lest kindred woes persuade a kindred doom	W
Hence gloomy thoughts no more my soul shall dwell	X
On joys that were No more endure to weigh	A
The shame and anguish of the evil day	A
Wisely forgetful O'er the ocean swell	X
Sublime of hope I seek the cottaged dell	X
Where virtue calm with careless step may stray	A
And dancing to the moonlight roundelay	X
The wizard passions weave an holy spell	X
	-
O Chatterton that thou wert yet alive	Y
Sure thou would'st spread the canvas to the gale	X
And love with us the tinkling team to drive	Y
O'er peaceful freedom's undivided dale	X
And we at sober eve would round thee throng	J
Hanging enraptured on thy stately song	J
And greet with smiles the young eyed poesy	V
All deftly mask'd as hoar antiquity	A
	-
Alas vain phantasies the fleeting brood	A
Of woe self solaced in her dreamy mood	A
Yet will I love to follow the sweet dream	Z
Where Susquehannah pours his untamed stream	Z
And on some hill whose forest frowning side	A
Waves o'er the murmurs of his calmer tide	A
Will raise a solemn cenotaph to thee	A
Sweet harper of time shrouded minstrelsy	V
And there soothed sadly by the dirgeful wind	A
Muse on the sore ills I had left behind	A
