To a Maniac
© Amelia Opie
There was a time, poor phrensied maid,
When I could o'er thy grief have mourned,
And still with tears the tale repaid
Of sense by sorrow's sway o'erturned.

All beautiful and bright as thou,
The loveliest and the last, is dead,

The mountains are our sponsors, and the rills
Fashion and win their nursling with their smiles.

Gleaming thro' moss-tufts deep,
Like dark eyes fill'd with sleep,
And bath'd in hues of summer's midnight sky.

And smiles with anxious looks, his earliest friends,
Masking his birth-name, wont to character
