ON SEEING A YOUNG FRIENDWEEP AT A TALE OF DISTRESS.
How lovely is that gentle tear
Adown thy check so softly stealing!
What sweet expression does it bear!
Ah! sure it is the child of feeling.
Adown thy check so softly stealing!
What sweet expression does it bear!
Ah! sure it is the child of feeling.
I saw the trembler first appear,
I saw it swell thy beauteous eye;
Prize, my sweet girl, a gem so dear,
Emblem of sensibility.
