66 ページ - The world is bright before thee, Its summer flowers are thine ; Its calm blue sky is o'er thee, Thy bosom, pleasure's shrine ; And thine the sunbeam given To nature's morning hour, Pure, warm, as when from heaven It burst on Eden's bower. There is a song of sorrow, The death-dirge of the gay, That tells, ere dawn of morrow, These charms may melt away ; That sun's bright beam be shaded, That sky be blue no more, The summer flowers be faded, And youth's warm promise o'er.
