Living
'Tis Memory's aid my vows implore
From Poems (1786)
Living
'TIS Memory's aid my vows implore,
For she will smile when Fortune's coy;
And to the eye of love restore
The spirit of departed joy.
O plunge me still, with magic art,
In soothing Fancy's soft abyss;
And sill my fond, my faithful heart
With visions of thy purer bliss!
