letra de stanzas to - emma topping

well, some may hate and some may scorn
and some may quite forget thy name
but my sad heart must ever mourn
thy ruined hopes, they blighted fame!
’twas thus i thought, an hour ago
even weeping o’er that wretch’s woe
one word turned back my gushing tears
and lit my altered eye with sneers
then “bless the friendly dust,” i said
“that hides the unlamented head!
vain as thou wert, and weak as vain
the slave of falsehood, pride, and pain
my heart has nought akin to thine
thy soul is powerless over mine.”

but these were thoughts that vanished too;
unwise, unholy, and untrue:
do i despise the timid deer
because his limbs are fleet with fear?
or, would i mock the wolf’s death—howl
because his form is gaunt and foul?
or, hear with joy the leveret’s cry
because it cannot bravely die?
no! then above his memory
let pity’s heart as tender be:
say, “earth lie lightly on that breast
and, kind heaven, grant that spirit rest
