On Leaving Killarney . August 5 , 1800. FAREWEL , sweet scenes ! pensive once more I turn Those pointed hills , and wood-fringed lakes to view With fond regret ; while in this last adieu A silent tear those brilliant hours shall mourn For ever past . So from the pleasant shore , Borne with the struggling bark against the wind , The trembling pennant fluttering looks behind With vain reluctance ! 'Mid those woods no more For me the voice of pleasure shall resound , Nor soft flutes warbling o'er the placid lake Aërial music shall for me awake , And wrap my charmed soul in peace profound ! Though lost to me , here still may Taste delight To dwell , nor the rude axe the trembling Dryads fright !
