SENTIMENT. 



Maiden, go! and should you rue 

 All your coldness here hath done, 

 Know that Nature, ever true, 

 Will not now desert her son: 

 If you she gave the cold desire 

 To flaunt in Fortune's glittering train, 

 For me she framed a heart ana lyre, 

 Which will ot let me live in vain. 

 The simple chords of that rude lyre, 

 The plain warm homage of that heart, 

 Alike were yours; and shall the fire 

 That warmed in joy, in grief depart? 



Maiden, go! I will not call 



A blush again to shame that brow; 



But may you in the festal hall 



Be tranquil as you leave me now: 



Still my lot in life must be 



In some dim secluded spot, 



Undisturbed by thought of thee, 



Dreams of love and all forgot; 



Yet ne'er the Tajo's sands of gold, 



Nor all the treasures of the deep 



Can pay you for the peace you 've sold, 



Pleasant dreams and quiet sleep.
