ABOARD THE PHAETON FRIGATE OFF THE AZORES BY MOONLIGHT	A
	-
	-
Sweet Moon if like Crotona's sage	B
By any spell my hand could dare	C
To make thy disk its ample page	B
And write my thoughts my wishes there	C
How many a friend whose careless eye	D
Now wanders o'er that starry sky	D
Should smile upon thy orb to meet	E
The recollection kind and sweet	E
The reveries of fond regret	F
The promise never to forget	F
And all my heart and soul would send	G
To many a dear loved distant friend	G
	-
How little when we parted last	H
I thought those pleasant times were past	H
For ever past when brilliant joy	I
Was all my vacant heart's employ	I
When fresh from mirth to mirth again	J
We thought the rapid hours too few	K
Our only use for knowledge then	J
To gather bliss from all we knew	K
Delicious days of whim and soul	L
When mingling lore and laugh together	M
We leaned the book on Pleasure's bowl	L
And turned the leaf with Folly's feather	M
Little I thought that all were fled	N
That ere that summer's bloom was shed	N
My eye should see the sail unfurled	O
That wafts me to the western world	O
	-
And yet 'twas time in youth's sweet days	P
To cool that season's glowing rays	P
The heart awhile with wanton wing	Q
May dip and dive in Pleasure's spring	Q
But if it wait for winter's breeze	R
The spring will chill the heart will freeze	R
And then that Hope that fairy Hope	S
Oh she awaked such happy dreams	T
And gave my soul such tempting scope	S
For all its dearest fondest schemes	T
That not Verona's child of song	U
When flying from the Phrygian shore	V
With lighter heart could bound along	U
Or pant to be a wanderer more	V
	-
Even now delusive hope will steal	W
Amid the dark regrets I feel	W
Soothing as yonder placid beam	X
Pursues the murmurers of the deep	Y
And lights them with consoling gleam	X
And smiles them into tranquil sleep	Y
Oh such a blessed night as this	Z
I often think if friends were near	A2
How we should feel and gaze with bliss	Z
Upon the moon bright scenery here	B2
The sea is like a silvery lake	C2
And o'er its calm the vessel glides	D2
Gently as if it feared to wake	C2
The slumber of the silent tides	D2
The only envious cloud that lowers	E2
Hath hung its shade on Pico's height	A
Where dimly mid the dusk he towers	E2
And scowling at this heaven of light	A
Exults to see the infant storm	F2
Cling darkly round his giant form	F2
	-
Now could I range those verdant isles	G2
Invisible at this soft hour	M
And see the looks the beaming smiles	G2
That brighten many an orange bower	M
And could I lift each pious veil	H2
And see the blushing cheek it shades	I2
Oh I should have full many a tale	H2
To tell of young Azorian maids	I2
Yes Strangford at this hour perhaps	J2
Some lover not too idly blest	K2
Like those who in their ladies' laps	J2
May cradle every wish to rest	K2
Warbles to touch his dear one's soul	L
Those madrigals of breath divine	L2
Which Camoens' harp from Rapture stole	L
And gave all glowing warm to thine	L2
Oh could the lover learn from thee	M2
And breathe them with thy graceful tone	N2
Such sweet beguiling minstrelsy	J2
Would make the coldest nymph his own	N2
	-
But hark the boatswain's pipings tell	O2
'Tis time to bid my dream farewell	O2
Eight bells the middle watch is set	F
Good night my Strangford ne'er forget	F
That far beyond the western sea	J2
Is one whose heart remembers thee	J2
