THE PAINS OF MEMORY.

A

THE

PAINS OF MEMORY.

A Fragment.

MEMORY! mysterious principle, whose power

Can ope alike the source of joy, or wo;

Can gild with "gladsome ray" the passing hour,
Or bid the starting tear of anguish flow:

Fain would my mournful song aspire to show
What keen regret, what deep remorse is thine;
How in the wreath which decks thine awful brow,
The
cypress with the willow should entwine,

Alas! my plaintive lyre, a gloomy theme is mine!
