Oh love, how swift thy fairest prospects fade! Swift as the beauty of a vernal day. At morn the sun illumes the dewy glade, And flow'rs expanding drink his orient ray: But soon it passes, chilling blasts arise, The flow'rets droop, its lustre disappears, And the light clouds that glow'd with golden dyes, Chang'd to black vapours, mourn its fate in tears.
