Impromptu, in Reply to a Friend
When, from the heart where Sorrow sits,Her dusky shadow mounts too high,And o'er the changing aspect flits,And clouds the brow, or fills the eye;Heed not that gloom, which soon shall sink:My Thoughts their dungeon know too well;Back to my breast the Wanderers shrink,And droop within their silent cell.
