Song 1 When first the vernal morn of Life Beam'd on my infant Eye Fond I survey'd the smiling scene Nor saw the tempest nigh 2 Hope's bright illusions touch'd my soul My young ideas led; And fancy's vivid tints combin'd And fairy prospect spread 3 My guileless heart expanded wide With filial fondness fraught: Paternal love that heart supplied With all its fondness sought. 4 But Oh the cruel quick reverse! Fate all I lov'd involv'd Pale Greif, hope's trembling ray disperst And fancy's [[underline]] dreams dissolv'd. --- [[/underline]]
