Hays, Mary: Ah! let not hope fallacious, airy, wild, - ZaunköniG - 29.07.2007
Ah! let not hope fallacious, airy, wild,
Illusive rays amid the tempest blend!
No more my soul with varied feelings rend,
Soft sensibility - refinement's child!
May apathy her wand ablivious spread
Steeped in lethean waves, with poppies twined,
And gently bending o'er my languid head,
To long repose beguile a wayward mind.
While keen reflection throbs in every vein,
Thy aid oblivion, vainly I implore!
This heart shall tremble with the sense of pain,
Till death's cold hand a lasting peace restore.
Ah' say can reason's feebler power control,
The finer movements of the feeling soul?
