Then a kifs frae her bonnie mou', A kind look frae her sparklin' e'e, Or a squeeze o' her hand, I trow, Does far owre pay a' toil to me : I envy not the rich or great, As lang as fhe does conftant prove; For what is a' the pomp o' ftate Compar'd wi' the fweet lafs I love! Anftruther, For the Edinburgh Magazine, M NIGHT.-AN ODE. C. G. [IGHTY Pow'r, whofe murky reign, Alternate rules the etherial plain Whether thou wear'st thy darkest plume, And wrapft the world in raylefs gloom; Whether aftonifh'd nature owns Thy loud veil'd thunder's deep'ning tones; Whether thy wild, inconftant blaft Howls lonely o'er the dreary wafte, Or rudely fweeps the reftlefs flood, Or raves amid the leaflefs wood;While ruthless spirits of the storm Dimly discover shapes deform ;Whether, as now, the pale-fac'd moon, Bids thee enjoy a placid noon; While the fair daughters of the sky Surround her filver courfe on high; Dear, alike, to me the folemn hour, Dear to the Mufe, who owns its magic pow'r. 'Tis now, the facred, filent time, The mind can mount to heights fublime; Can mark who robb'd the Sun in light; And spread the fable wings of night; Explore, with awe, the potent Hand On which unnumber'd worlds depend; Aftonish'd fearch the boundless force, That wheels them in eternal course; And the vast wisdom learn to scan, That form'd the univerfal plan;→→ Can learn, and heave the wild enthufiaft figh, To leave the little earth, and coast the spacious sky. Child of trifles! dare thy foul A feather on the stream of time; Now, propitious lunar beam, Lead me to the lucid ftream, Where the flow-flowing waters fhew The fhining heav'ns, with foften'd glow; Where far adown the reedy brink The bending alders feem to drink; While to each gentle gale that brushes by They utter foft a lowly-plaintive figh, * Softly tread! 'tis holy ground! Who, thoughtful 'neath the nightly ray, Slew faunt'ring, views thefe ruins grey; While her fwol'n foul, in pure poetic vein, Pours o'er the pile her penfive pleasing ftrain. Stars of the heaven, whose lasting light Can time, and chance, and death defy; Is taught and, fir'd, afferts her native clime, And tow'rs above the little things of time. For the Edinburgh Magazine. J. T. THE HOUR OF LOVE. TAIL thou bleft orb, that rul'ft the HALL night, Again I hail thy tranquil light, And fteal'ft thy filent course above; Propitious to the hour of Love. How fweet beneath thy placid beam; Far from the bufy hum of men, To wander by the lonely stream, In Rollin's deep romantic glen. Thro' fhadowing trees now hid, now feen, The claffic Efk, flow ling'ring, plays, And, from the trembling fhades between, Reflects the nightly dazzling rays. Alone, beneath the blue ferene, Here no unhallow'd footsteps rove: Here no rude jarrings intervene To mar the holy hour of Love. In converse chafte, in soft delight, How fast the blissful moments move, Pure as thy beams that cheer the night, The joys that cheer the hour of Love. And who'd exchange this blissful hour, For those that fashion's votaries prove, When yielding to the fofter power, Ah! precious is the hour of Love! For the Edinburgh Magazine. A SONG. Z.
