Mary Darby Robinson - Sonnet XLIV: Here Droops the Muse

Here droops the muse! while from her glowing mind, br Celestial Sympathy, with humid eye, br Bids the light Sylph capricious Fancy fly, br Time's restless wings with transient flowr's to bind! br For now, with folded arms and head inclin'd, br Reflection pours the deep and frequent sigh, br O'er the dark scroll of human destiny, br Where gaudy buds and wounding thorns are twin'd.
