EVENING.




For, like a friend's consoling sighs,
    That breeze of night to me appears;
And, as soft dew from Pity's eyes,
    Descend those pure celestial tears.

Alas! for those who long have borne,
    Like me, a heart by sorrow riven,
Who, but the plaintive winds, will mourn,
    What tears will fall, but those of Heaven?
