The happiest day-the happiest hour
My seared and blighted heart hath known,
The highest hope of pride and power,
I feel hath flown.
Of power! said I? yes! such I ween;
But they have vanish'd long, alas!
The visions of my youth have been-
But let them pass.
And, pride, what have I now with thee?
Another brow may even inherit
The venom thou hast pour'd on me:
Be still, my spirit.
The happiest day-the happiest hour
Mine eyes shall see-have ever seen,
The brightest glance of pride and power,
I feel-have been:
But were that hope of pride and power
Now offer'd, with the pain
Even then I felt-that brightest hour
I would not live again:
For on its wing was dark alloy,
And as it flutter'd-fell
An essence-powerful to destroy
A soul that knew it well.
