has therefore occasioned the sentiment to be 
associated with its name. 
ILLUSTRATION OF THE SENTIMENT. 
Tell me, thou soul of her I love, 
Ah ! tell me whither art thou fled; 
To what delightful world above. 
Appointed for the happy dead ? 
Or, dost thou, free, at pleasure roam. 
And sometimes share thy lover’s woe. 
Where, void of thee, his cheerless home 
Can now, alas! no comfort know ? 
Oh ! if thou liov’rest round my walk. 
While, under every well-known tree, 
I to thy fancied shadow talk. 
And ev’ry tear is full of thee,— 
Should, then, the weary eye of grief. 
Beside some sympathetic stream. 
In slumber find a short relief, 
Oh! visit thou my soothing dream ! 
Thomson.
