SONG . THE season comes when first we met , But you return no more ; Why cannot I the days forget , Which time can ne'er restore ? O days too sweet , too bright to last , Are you indeed for ever past ? The fleeting shadows of delight , In memory I trace ; In fancy stop their rapid flight , And all the past replace : But , ah , I wake to endless woes , And tears the fading visions close !
