" Now scarce is heard the zephyr's sigh 



To breathe along the narrow vale : 

 Now sudden bursts the storm on high, 



In mingled rush of rain and hail. 

 —While adverse fortune louring frown'd. 



Than our's no tie could closer be ; 

 But lo ! when ease and joy were found, 



Spurn'd was I, ingrate-spurn'd by thee! 



" Now scarce is felt the fanning air 



Along the valley's sloping side ; 

 Now winds arise, and light'nings glare, 



Pours the fell storm its dreadful tide ! 

 —While fears and troubles closely prest. 



By thee my love was gladly sought ; 

 But once again with quiet blest. 



Thou view'st me as a thing of nought !
