Song 10. O Tuneful voice, I still deplore

O Tuneful voice, I still deplore
Those accents which, tho' heard no more,
Still vibrate on my heart;
In echo's cave I long to dwell,
And still would hear the sad farewell,
When we were doom'd to part.
Bright eyes, O that the task were mine,
To guard the liquid fires that shine,
And round your orbits play;
To watch them with a vestal's care,
And feed with smiles a light so fair.
That it may ne'er decay.

1. Lelia, or, The Maniac's Song
2. November, 1784
3. To the Memory of a Lovely Infant, Written Seven Years after His Death
4. Addressed to Mrs. G.
5. Song 11. THE anguish of my bursting heart
