But, how shall I The mournful truth display ? An envious Cat, with jealous eye, Had mark'd him as her prey. Remorseless wretch ! her cruel jaws Soon seal'd her victim's doom, While I in silence mourn his loss, And weep o'er Robin's tomb. So, oft in Life's uneven way, Some stroke may intervene ; Sweep all our fancied joys away, And change the flatt 'ring scene. L 74 THE EARLY PRIMROSE. \H ! lovely Primrose, tell me why Thou thus dares tempt yon frowning sky With thy untimely bloom ? And why so w...illingly unfold Thy bosom to the bitter cold, Which threats thy instant doom ? Was it some warm and kindly beam ? Or didst thou, flow'ret, fondly dream That fragrant breath of thine Would cause the furious winds to rest, Or the rude tempest's angry breast To pity would incline ? 75 Alas! sweet flowV, thy day is past ; Hark! from the North yon howling blast Heeds not thy tender smile ; The driving show'r, the cruel storm, Will soon thy lovely charms deform, And thy soft foliage spoil. So my sad soul once hoped to find The world to gentle peace inclin'd, Till Fate's dire storm arose, O'erthrew my joys, my pleasures quell'd, With anxious cares this bosom fuTd, And check'd its calm repose.
