Poetry.
To a faded PENSEE[1], received in a Letter
from a young Lady in a distant Country.
Go, faded flower! thy task resign;
Go mount again the billowy seas:
I need no humble aid like thine,
To wake a thought of Heloise.
Go tell her that I feel within
The Pensếe which she planted there:
Without a leaf, ’tis ever green,
Without a blossam, ever fair.
’Tis not like thee, a changeful thing,
The object of a sunny day,
That brethes one zephyr of the spring,
Then like that zephyr fades away.
But ’tis a plant that cannot die;
That give sweet fragrance all the year:
It breathes no zephyr but a sigh,
It drinks no dew-drop but a tear!
Go then, frail flower! thy task resign;
Go mount again the billowy seas:
A power within exceeding thine,
Wakes all my soul to Heloise.
Angelica.
- ↑ The pensếe is a little flower, called in English pansy, and is frequently sent in letters as a souvenir, and seems to say, “do not forget me.”
A RETURN TO THE MUSE.
Oh! Muse! how sweet, when free from folly’s snare,
And all the bustle of the world’s vain throng,
To seek again thy bow'r, to claim thy care,
And pour in solitude the pensive song!
Long has thou shunn’d me, quiet-loving maid!
Shunn’d me because the world engross’d my hours;
But now once more I seek thy leafy shade,
Once more I claim thy verse-inspiring pow'rs.
Teach me to form a theme for virtue’s ear,
A theme that will not crimson virtue’s cheek;
Be it whate’er mild modesty may hear,
Whate’er plain truth with confidence may speak.
Teach me but this, I’ll envy not the song
That talks of virtue, while with vice it burns;
Such themes to poetry should ne’er belong,
Such themes the son of candour justly spurns!
