Henry Brooke


Enlivening as a sneeze.	1
Gay as a woman’s wish.	2
Gone, like traces on the deep, Like a spectre grasp’d in sleep, Dews inhal’d from morning glades, Melting snows, and gliding shades.	3
Hoarse as the rustling of autumnal breeze.	4
Pure as the expanse of Heaven.	5
Sad as a thousand sighs, when the dark winds sob through the yews.	6
Various as woman’s will.	7
