Poem On Sensibility
poem on sensibility sensibility, how charming, dearest nancy, thou st tell; but distress, with horrors arming, thou alas! hast known too well! fairest flower, behold the lily blooming in the sunny ray: let the blast sweep o'er the valley, see it prostrate in the clay. hear the wood lark charm the forest, telling o'er his little joys; but alas! a prey the surest to each pirate of the skies. dearly bought the hidden treasure finer feelings bestow: chords that vibrate sweetest pleasure thrill the deepest notes of woe.
