I), quoted from an Arabic manuscript [Echo] Twilight's soft dews steal o'er the village-green, With magic tints to harmonize the scene. Stilled is the hum that through the hamlet broke When round the ruins of their ancient oak The peasants flocked to hear the minstrel play, And games and carols closed the busy day. - Pleasures of Memory (pt. I, l. 1) [Twilight] Long on the wave reflected lustres play. - Pleasures of Memory (pt. I, l. 94) [Sunset] Hail, memory, hail! in thy exhaustion mine From age to age unnumbered treasures shine! Thought and her shadowy brood thy call obey, And Place and Time are subject to thy sway! - Pleasures of Memory (pt. II, l. 428) [Memory] For who, alas! has lived, Nor in the watches of the night recalled Words he has wished unsaid and deeds undone. - Reflections (l. 52) [Regret] I am in Rome!

There's such a charm in melancholy, I would not, if I could, be gay! - To ----- (st. 1) [Melancholy] Oh, if you knew the pensive pleasure That fills my bosom when I sigh, You would not rob me of a treasure Monarchs are too poor to buy. - To ----- (st. 2) [Sighs] Gentle to others, to himself severe. - Voyage of Columbus (canto VI) [Gentleness] Displaying page 3 of 3 for this author: << Prev 1 2 [3]
