Song.

Topics: classic

Nature's imperfect child, to whom     The world is wrapt in viewless gloom,     Can unresisted still impart     The fondest wishes of his heart.     And he, to whose impervious ear     The sweetest sounds no charms dispense,     Can bid his inmost soul appear     In clear, tho' silent, eloquence.     But we, my Julia, not so blest,     Are doom'd a diff'rent fate to prove, -     To feel each joy and hope supprest     That flow from pure, but hidden, love.
