Il thou has loosed a bird, Whose voi c of song could cheer thee Still, still, lie may he von, m ,u_ ..i.:? r ruin i lie fiviwi wmmc i;vu> tuv , Cut if upon the troubled s/>a Thou hast thrown a pom unheeded, Hope not that wind or wave will bring The treasure back when needed. If thou hast bruised a vine, The summer's breath is healing, Antfits clusters yet may glow, Through the leaves their bloom revealing; But if thou hast a cup o'crthrown, With a bright draught filled?oh! never Shall earth give back that lavished wealth To cool thy parched lips' fever. The heart is like that cup, If thou waste the love it bore thee; A r?r1 f lv.it intvM rrnno. I * MltV l,l .% JV? ? . n * Which the deep will not restore thee: Ami like the string of harp or lute.
