There is spot must revere,
A spot to me supremely dear;
Dear is the plains that gave me birth,
And nurs'd me in the lap of mirth--
IT'S in valleys calm retreat,
And call'd by some the MUSES. Seat.
And brightly does my fancy CLEAN
On scenes, that VANISHED like the dream.
When on that spot, Pvc fondly dwclt,
And all the charms or friendship felt;
When call'd by voices soft and sweet,
That warbled o'er the Muses. Seat.
And oft her widest wing is spread
To days dcparted-ioys that fed
To pleasures that are past and DER
TO scenes that ne'er can charm me more;
For, OH the moments were so feet,
That pass'd me on the Muses. Seat.
Not, that the Muse could there inspire
NV bosom with poetic fire
No, 'tis beyond the Muses. art
To dictate for wounded heart;
Yet, still dream in slumbers sweet
Of pleasures on the Muses. Seat.
There is a silence reigns around
That hallowed spot, that's SO profound,
That every moon-beam seems to sleep
As on the surface OF the deep
There is form divincly neat,
Rcclincs upon the Muses. Seat,
There is voice love.to hear
A voice that can my bosom cheer;
And there that Syren voice Ive heard,
Sing sweeter than the tuncful bird
There Is an eye love SO sweet,
That beams upon the MUSES. Seat
There is an eye, know it we'll
know it by the magic spell
That bound me, when on me it glanced,
And every thought at once entranc'd;
But Oh! that eye no more can greet
My coming at the MUSES. Seat.
Yet, fain would / the charm. fofego,
That bubble in this world of woe,
Again to ramble through that glen,
TO sit within that grot again
To spend each eve in converse sweet,
Upon the Muses. f..vouritc Seat
