The Mind
Leave, O leave me to my sorrows
From An Island in the Moon (c. 1784)
The Mind
Leave, O leave me to my sorrows;
Here I'll sit & fade away,
Till I'm nothing but a spirit,
And I lose this form of clay.
Then if chance along this forest
Any walk in pathless ways,
Thro' the gloom he'll see my shadow,
Hear my voice upon the Breeze.
