The lily of the vale, of flowers the queen, Puts on the robe she neither sew'd nor spun. - Elegy [Lilies-of-the-valley] Oft morning dreams presage approaching fate, For morning dreams, as poets tell, are true. - Elegy on Spring [Dreams] Now spring returns; but not to me returns The vernal joy my better years have known; Dim in my breast life's dying taper burns, And all the joys of life with health have flown. - Elegy, written in Spring [Spring] In every pang that rends the heart The Man of Sorrows had a part. - Gospel Sounds--Christ Ascended [Christ] But evil fortune has decreed, (The foe of mice as well as men) The royal mouse at last should bleed, Should fall--ne'er to arise again. - Musiad [Disappointment]
