ONE fongftrefs of the waning year,
The first amid the feather'd choir
That warbling many a wild note clear
Attunes the lay to young defire ;
Why fwells with grief thy little throat!

Why do thy plumes difordered lie!
Say from what caufe that penfive note

Proceeds, and why that alter'd eye? Has Fate, beneath the fowler's form, With cruel aim thy blifs annoy'd? Or truant-boy, intent on harm,

With favage hand thy young destroy'd? If 'tis thy lot thefe woes to prove,

Thy plaintive ftrain ftill let me hear;
For as thou wail'ft thy injur'd love,
I'll foothe thy fufferings with a tear.
