Mary Darby Robinson - Echo to Him Who ComplainsMary Darby Robinson - Echo to Him Who Complains
Work rating:
Low
O FLY thee from the shades of night,
Where the loud tempests yelling rise;
Where horrror wings her sullen flight
Beneath the bleak and lurid skies.
As the pale light`ning swiftly gleams
O`er the scorch`d wood, thy well-known form
More radiant than an angel seems,
Contending with the ruthless storm.
I see the scowling witch, DESPAIR
Drink the big tear that scalds thy cheek;
While thro` the dark and turbid air,
The screams of haggard ENVY break.
From the cold mountain`s flinty steep,
I hear the dashing waters roar;
Ah! turn thee, turn thee, cease to weep,
Thou hast no reason to deplore.
See fell DESPAIR expiring fall,
See ENVY from thy glances start;
No more shall howling blasts appall,
Or with`ring grief corrode thy heart.
See FRIENDSHIP from her azure eye
Drops the fond balm for ev`ry pain
She comes, the offspring of the sky,
"TO RAZE THE TROUBLES OF THE brain."
