VISIONS OF FANCY. ELEGY I.
Children of fancy, whither are ye fled!
Where have ye borne those hope-enliven'd hours,
That once with myrtle garlands bound my head,
That once bestrew'd my vernal path with flowers?

Shall, still the same, in sunny mazes play,
And with it's murmurs melodise thy song.

The breathing sweets of vernal odour shed.
Hark, as the strains of swelling music rise,
How the notes vibrate on the fav'ring gale!
