Misery, my sweetest friend—oh, weep no more!

Thou wilt not be consoled—I wonder not!

For I have seen thee from thy dwelling's door

Watch the calm sunset with them, and this spot

Was even as bright and calm, but transitory,

And now thy hopes are gone, thy hair is hoary;

This most familiar scene, my pain—

These tombs—alone remain.
