'Ti* when the fairy orb, ferenc, Divinely blends each rural Icciiw Of hill and dale ; When by the heav'nly visionM Hgrit, From perfum'd fpray, the bird of night Descants his tale. r '"'Tis when the grief-worn pilgrim hies To commune with his kindred fides, To feek relief.. In pious pray'r—and fancy tcU?, That thfiethe form regretted dwells Releas'd from grief. *Tis when the fer.tient, wounded heart, Pierc'd by flarder's keenest dart, O'erwhelm'd with woes, Flies from the bufv haunts of men, Eager t'escape their vulgar kenf ' And feck repofe.
