WHEN HE WHO ADORES THEE
When he who adores thee has left hut the name Of liis fault and his sorrows behind, Oh! say, wilt thou weep, when they darken the fame _ Of a life that for thee was resigned? Yes, weep, and however my foes may Thy tears shall efface their decree; For Heaven can witness, though guilty to them, I have been but too faithful to thee. With thee were the dreams of my earliest love; Every, thought of my reason was thine; In my last humble prayer to the Spirit above Thy name shall be mingled with mine. Oh! blest are the lovers and friends who shall live The days of thy glory to see; But the next dearest ' blessing that Heaven can give Is the pride of thus dying for thee. T. MOORE.
