Arise ! arise ! pale Cynthia rise ! . *• Come silent empress of the skies , Assert thy peaceful reign ; 'Mid fleecy clouds , a spotless vest . In robe of innocency drest , Illume thy wide domain .
Far from the garish light of day , Now let me hold my musing way , And court thy rrnlder beam : Sweet orb ! thy pensive vot ' ry own , As rapt I wander forth alone , By wood or murm u ring stream *
Like borrowed joys of days gone by Thy radiance steals along the sky , As angel smiles , divine : The gushing tear that speaks of joy , The sigh unmix'd with earth ' s alloy , That tear , that sigh are thine .
Soft as the dew thou shedd ' st o ' er flowers , Remembrance comes of buried hours , And pours a pleasing grief : Soft as the dew thy breath distils , The tear , the bliss-lit eye that fills , Gives the full heart relief .
Borne on the gale sweet forms appear , That smile as they were wont when here , While , upward as they fly , The breeze that gently wafts them on To rest thy heav ' nly orb upon , Bears after them , a sigh .
Here stretch'd beside a stream like this , Whose waves curl up to meet thy kiss , Abstracted would I tl , > ink Of friends , who took the kiss / gave , Then , vanished on Life ' s passing wave And left me on the brink .
Full many an eye far , far away ! Is gazing on thy pensive ray , With bliss too great to tell : Now shall our souls in union meet , Yet , while they hold communion sweet , Shall bless thy beauteous spell .

Lo I in the broad horizon of the West , The Lightnings , arm ' d with Heav ' n ' s avenging ball , Wake in the cloud the Thunder from his rest " With terror through the dark , aerial hall . " *
