ON SEEING SOME LINES DESCRIPTIVE OF ******
    WOODS, BY A STRANGER.

AH! who can paint like me these lovely scenes? E'en though thy muse her sweetest gifts impart, Can witching Fancy in her wildest dreams Depict the visions of the feeling heart? Though she may vary every tint and shade, Yet can mere foliage touch upon the mind? Ah yes, I feel it can without her aid, With every leaf some tender thought's combined. Here Memory brings, still brings to sad review Friends ever lost, who loved these woods among To see each season's varied change renew, And pensive listen to the night‐bird's song. Yet ONE remains this drooping heart to cheer, And from affection's cheek to chase the tear.
