Yon nightingale, whose bursts of thrilling tone,Pour'd in soft sorrow from her tuneful throat,Haply her mate or infant brood bemoan,Filling the fields and skies with pity's note;Here lingering till the long long night is gone,Awakes the memory of my cruel lot—But I my wretched self must wail alone:Fool, who secure from death an angel thought!O easy duped, who thus on hope relies!Who would have deem'd the darkness, which appears,From orbs more brilliant than the sun should rise?Now know I, made by sad experience wise,That Fate would teach me by a life of tears,On wings how fleeting fast all earthly rapture flies! Wrangham. Yon nightingale, whose strain so sweetly flows,Mourning her ravish'd young or much-loved mate,A soothing charm o'er all the valleys throwsAnd skies, with notes well tuned to her sad state:And all the night she seems my kindred woesWith me to weep and on my sorrows wait;Sorrows that from my own fond fancy rose,Who deem'd a goddess could not yield to fate.How easy to deceive who sleeps secure!Who could have thought that to dull earth would turnThose eyes that as the sun shone bright and pure?Ah! now what Fortune wills I see full sure:That loathing life, yet living I should seeHow few its joys, how little they endure! Anon., Ox., 1795. That nightingale, who now melodious mournsPerhaps his children or his consort dear,The heavens with sweetness fills; the distant bournsResound his notes, so piteous and so clear;[Pg 269]With me all night he weeps, and seems by turnsTo upbraid me with my fault and fortune drear,Whose fond and foolish heart, where grief sojourns,A goddess deem'd exempt from mortal fear.Security, how easy to betray!The radiance of those eyes who could have thoughtShould e'er become a senseless clod of clay?Living, and weeping, late I've learn'd to sayThat here below—Oh, knowledge dearly bought!—Whate'er delights will scarcely last a day! Charlemont.
