Lo! where the moon along the sky
Sails with her happy destiny;
Oft is she hid from mortal eye
Or dimly seen,
But when the clouds asunder fly
How bright her mein!

Thousands though rich in Fortune grace
With cherished sullenness of pace
Their way pursue,
Ingrates who wear a smileless face
The whole year through.

My spirit droop for drooping's sake,
From fancy Following in thy wake,
Bright ship of heaven!
A counter impulse let me take
And be forgiven.
