DOES Pity give, tho' Fate denies,
And to my wounds her balm impart?
O speak! with those expressive eyes;
Let one low sigh escape thine heart.
The gazing crowd shall never guess
What anxious, watchful Love can see;
Nor know what those soft looks express,
Nor dream that sigh is meant for me.
Ah! words are useless, words are vain,
Thy generous sympathy to prove;
And well, that sigh, those looks explain
That Clara mourns my hapless love.
