HOW sweet to recall the sweet moments of joy!
'Tis this, and this only can Absence employ,
Can ease my fond heart, and beguile my soft pain,
Till I see with delight my dear charmer again.
Ah! who ever knew such full transports as I,
While with her, the swift minutes unheeded pass'd by,
Alas! with the sweet recollection I burn,
Bring back your delights, ye dear moments, return!
