Ah! why have I indulg'd my dazzled sight - ZaunköniG - 27.08.2014 Ah! why have I indulg'd my dazzled sight With scenes in Hope's delusive mirror shown? Scenes, that too seldom human Life has known In kind accomplishment;--but O! how bright The rays, that gilded them with varied light Alternate! oft swift flashing on the boon That might at FAME's immortal shrine be won; Then shining soft on tender LOVE's delight.-- Now, with stern hand, FATE draws the sable veil O'er the frail glass!--HOPE, as she turns away, The darken'd crystal drops.----Heavy and pale, Rain-pouring clouds quench all the darts of day; Low mourns the wind along the gloomy dale, And tolls the Death-bell in the pausing gale. |
