That sky of clouds is not the skyA
To light a lover to the pillowB
Of her he lovesC
The swell of yonder foaming billowB
Resembles not the happy sighA
That rapture movesD
-
Yet do I feel more tranquil farE
Amid the gloomy wilds of oceanF
In this dark hourG
Than when in passion's young emotionF
I've stolen beneath the evening starE
To Julia's bowerG
-
Oh there's a holy calm profoundH
In awe like this that ne'er was givenF
To pleasure's thrillI
'Tis as a solemn voice from heavenF
And the soul listening to the soundH
Lies mute and stillI
-
'Tis true it talks of danger nighA
Of slumbering with the dead tomorrowB
In the cold deepJ
Where pleasure's throb or tears of sorrowB
No more shall wake the heart or eyeA
But all must sleepJ
-
Well there are some thou stormy bedK
To whom thy sleep would be a treasureG
Oh most to himL
Whose lip hath drained life's cup of pleasureG
Nor left one honey drop to shedK
Round sorrow's brimL
-
Yes he can smile serene at deathM
Kind heaven do thou but chase the weepingN
Of friends who love himL
Tell them that he lies calmly sleepingN
Where sorrow's sting or envy's breathM
No more shall move himL
