And where is he ? not by the side Whose every want he loved to tend, Not o'er those valics wandering wide, Where sweetly lost he oft would wend, That form beloved he marks no more, Those scenes admir'd no more shall sec, Those scenes are lonely as before. And she as fair ! but where is he ?
No, no, the radiance is not dim, That used to gild hisf.ixonte bill. The pleasures that w ere dear to him, Are dear to life and nature still ; But, ah ! his home is not as fair, Neglected must his garden be. The lilies droop and wither there.
And seem to whisper, "where is he ?
His was the pomp the crowded hall, But where is now the proud display ! His riches, honor, pleasures, all Desire could frame but where are they ! And he, as some tall rock that stands Protected by the circling sea, Surrounded by admiring bands Seemed proudly strong and where is he? The rhurrh vards bears an added stone The fire-side shows a vacant chair ; Here sadness dwells and weeps alone, And death disolavs his banners there ; T ae life is gone-tne breath has fled A;d wudt has been no more shall be ; The well known form the welcome tread On! where are taey, and vIktc is he?
