methinks I see thee now With eyes and tresses dark as night. Below those hills where jut the rocks Above yon shady mountain stream. And, dim as objects in a dream, Are mirror'd back in massy blocks, — 206 SOLILOQUY. 207 We gather'd lilies on the ledges, That, as Narcissus loved of eld, Bow'd coyly o'er the mossy edges To view themselves as he beheld. 'Tis strange, though thou art pass'd away. That Nature smiles the same as then ; — E'en heaven's white cloudlets sail again Just as we watch'd the...m when at play. Ah, Childhood — flowery May of life That swiftly passes toward December, And only leaves 'mid after strife Thy sinless raptures to remember — How truly sweet thy transient day ! Who can but scarce repress a tear While thinking when nor care nor fear Cast shadows o'er life's sunny way ? 2o8 SOLILOQUY. Oh for a spell to vanquish fate — Her woven woof of woes to sever, — I'd live a life with joy elate A thoughtless child, how happy ever. For, but in merry childhood, dance The sunbeams, leaves, and gurgling streams (More rapturous than heaven-pictured dreams), With all their beauty and romance.
