What time the jocund rosy bosomed hours Led forth the train of Phœbus and the spring, And Zephyr mild profusely scattered flowers On earth's green mantle from his musky wing; On Avon's banks I strayed, whose streams appear To wind with eddies fond round Shakespeare's tomb: The year's first feathery songsters warble near, And vi'lets beathe, and earliest roses bloom. There Fancy sat, her dewy fingers cold, Decking with flow'rets fresh th'unsullied sod, And bathed with tears the sad sepulchral mould, Her fav'rite offspring's long and last abode.
