Surprised by joy — impatient as the Wind br I turned to share the transport--Oh! with whom br But Thee, deep buried in the silent tomb, br That spot which no vicissitude can find? br Love, faithful love, recalled thee to my mind-- br But how could I forget thee? Through what power, br Even for the least division of an hour, br Have I been so beguiled as to be blind br To my most grievous loss?--That thought's return br Was the worst pang that sorrow ever bore, br Save one, one only, when I stood forlorn, br Knowing my heart's best treasure was no more; br That neither present time, nor years unborn br Could to my sight that heavenly face restore.
