.storal ELEGY. From POEMS by John Raknie,
lately publijhed.
YE valleys to which I complain,
Now trac'd with the tear-ftrccming eye,
I know that my sorrows are vain,
Yet love to indulge the fond sigh !
To muse on the days that are flown,
To think dearest Lucy on thefi !
My heart must be cold as thy own,
Ere loft the remembrance can be.
When summer in beauty arfay'd,
Shone here with a fplcndour refined,
In thee all its charms were difplav'd,
In thee all its beauties conjoined.
Thy smile, to its lustre serene,
The glories of Eden reftor'd :
Whose death gave a damp to the scene,
Whose death will be ever doplor'd !
Who rose, the sweet flow'r of delight!
Of Nature's perfe&ion in bloom :
Now loft in the confines of night,
—Conceal'd in the shade of the Tomb \
In whom love and friendfhip I found ;
Heart-piercing reflexion to me !
O Lucy—each object around,
Reminds thy LoßENzaof thee.
The winter now frowns on the year,
And loudly the hurricanes howl,
How lov'd—tor a semblance they bear,
To thetempefts that rage in toy foul!
All nature isfadden v d to woe,
The songsters no longer arc gay ;
Deje&ed they fit on each bough,
And mourn o'er the season's decay :
But nature again shall rejoice ;
.And Spring all her beauties restore ;
The songsters again raise their voice
In melody sweet as before !
The scene that so gloomy appears,
Again (hall its brightness resume :
Yet I Ihall explore it in tears,
Nor raise my fad hopes from the tomb !
The tomb, over which I recline,
That cruelly keeps thee from view,
Dear Lucy, may shortly be mine 1
That profpett is all I pursue.
The sports of the village I wave ;
No longer endearing to me r
O Lucy my foul's in thy grave,*
My withes all center in thee !
* My heart is in the coffin there, with Ccejar;
And I mujlpaufe—till it come back again. Shakespear
