Spirit I who oft, at night’s unclouded noon.
Dost love to watch the melancholy moon
Shrou 1 in the wannee* ol her spectral ray

Or wherePalni vra’s mouldering shi ines o’ersprend
'rite Syrian waste—ami ci<y ol the dead !
Rcneath some teyed arch dost sit thee lone,
'IVdrink tire music jf Hie night wind’s moan.
And smile on ruin!—Spirit! who Jo-l <1 well
lu the deep silence ot the cavern’d cell,
Noting the she lowy years and mantling all
I’lie pomp ol earth in inute Oblivion * pall —
Spirit of time ’ roull beauty's radiant dower, !
Could Genius, Valor, r.i ock thy sullen oi.ver.
Could riche- lly thfco— Venice >titI trad been.
As once ol ol!, earths, ocean’s sceptercd,queen.
And siiil Leeu throned in ail her ancient charm*

O I !hen the glories of thy proud career
With m-tiy a tide repaid my listening eat ;

Thy marble palace*, and sey gji t walls,
The intient splendour of ll»v glided halts, f
Touch’d with the might hues from faiiv v*» pencil

All raised the rapture of my childish thought;
And e'en now—now tc nianhocd's srcruai glance

to be exempt from difficulties, und embar
