TO MELANCHOLY

Spirit of love and sorrow — hail!

Thy solemn voice from far I hear,

Mingling with ev’ning’s dying gale:

Hail, with this sadly-pleasing tear!

O! at this still, this lonely hour,

Thine own sweet hour of closing day,

Awake thy lute, whose charmful pow’r

Shall call up Fancy to obey:

To paint the wild romantic dream,

That meets the poet’s musing eye,

As, on the bank of shadowy stream,

He breathes to her the fervid sigh.

O lonely spirit! let thy song

Lead me through all thy sacred haunt;

The minister’s moonlight aisles along,

Where spectres raise the midnight chaunt.
