Alas from the day that we met
Language: English
Alas from the Day when we met, What Hope of an end to my Woes, When I cannot endure to forget The Glance that undid my Repose? Yet Time may diminish the Pain: The Flow'r, the Shrub and the Tree Which I rear'd for her Pleasure in vain, In Time may have Comfort for me.
