I love our neighbours all,17
But, Kitty, I better love thee;
And love them I ever shall;
But thou art all to me.
Song
Memory, hither come,1
And tune your merry notes:
And, while upon the wind
Your music floats,
I'll pore upon the stream 5
Where sighing lovers dream.
And fish for fancies as they pass
Within the watery glass.
I'll drink of the clear stream,
And hear the linnet's song; 10
And there I'll lie and dream
The day along:
And when night comes, I'll go
To places fit for woe.
Walking along the darken'd valley 15
With silent Melancholy.
Poetical Sketches, p. 14.
The wild winds weep,1
And the night is a-cold;
Come hither. Sleep,
And my griefs unfold:
But lo! the morning peeps 5
Over the eastern steeps,
And the rustling beds of dawn
The earth do scorn.
