"The better days of life were ours;
The worst can be but mine:

The sun that cheers, the storm that low'rs,
Shall never more be thine.
The silence of that dreamless sleep
I envy now too much to weep;
Nor need I to repine

That all those charms have passed away
I might have watched through long decay."

Must fall the earliest prey;

Though by no hand untimely snatch'd,
The leaves must drop away."
