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."
