I cannot bear his bright, obtrusive ray:
Nought is so dreadful to my gloom as light!

The Old Man press'd Palemon's hand;
To Lucy nodded with a smile;
Kiss'd all the little ones around;

How slow his pace! how spiritless his eye!
Like a dark cloud in summer's rosy dawn,

On friends belov'd when far at sea,

Though fortune and fame I pursue,

AH me! the yellow western sky turns pale,
And leaves the cheerless sons of earth to mourn;
And yet I hear not in the silent vale,

And seven Saxon princes sway'd,
The Mercian monarch, fam'd afar,

Fair dame, no farther go!
But listen to the martial strains,
Whose wildness speaks of woe!
