Elegy On Stella (第2/2页)
teps of age, trod down the darksome way; and some, in youth's lamented prime, like thee were torn away: yet these, however hard their fate, their native earth receives; amid their weeping friends they died, and fill their fathers' graves. from thy lov'd friends, when first thy heart was taught by heav'n to glow, far, far remov'd, the ruthless stroke surpris'd and laid thee low. at the last limits of our isle, wash'd by the western wave, touch'd by thy face, a thoughtful bard sits lonely by thy grave. pensive he eyes, before him spread the deep, outstretch'd and vast; his m notes are borne away along the rapid blast. and while, amid the silent dead thy hapless fate he mourns, his own long sorrows freshly bleed, and all his grief returns: like thee, cut off in early youth, and flower of beauty's pride, his friend, his first and only joy, his much lov'd stella, died. him, too, the stern impulse of fate resistless bears along; and the same rapid tide shall whelm the poet and the song. the tear of pity which he sheds, he asks not to receive; let but his poor remains be laid obscurely in the grave. his grief-wor, with truest joy, shall meet he wele shock: his airy harp shall lie unstrung, and silent on the rock. o, my dear maid, my stella, when shall this sick period close, ahe solitary bard to his belov'd repose?
