EARLY LIFE.

WRITTEN IN 1801.

When young in life nor knowi to sorrow,

How lightly flew the gladsome day,
Gay dreams of bliss brought on the morrow,

And gilt the sun's declining ray,

Then, sweet and tranquil were my slumbers,

Then, never wak'd nine eyes to weep," No sorrow which the heart encumbers,

Poisoned the balm of downy sleep.

ter.

Ah scenes of joy by fancy given,

To cheat th' enraptur'd gazing eye! Say why, alas, ye promise heaven,

And give-but disappointment's sigh?

Dear days of bliss, ye wake my sorrow ;

Now, slowly moves the tedious day, While sombre shades o'ercloud the morrow, And shroud the sun's declining ray
