DRINK, oh youth, joy's purest ray From thy loved one's eyes all day ,

 * **__The Bliss of Absence __**

And her image paint at night! Better rule no lover knows, Yet true rapture greater grows,

When far sever'd from her sight.

Powers eternal, distance, time, Like the might of stars sublime, 

Gently rock the blood to rest, <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">O'er my senses softness steals, <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Yet my bosom lighter feels,

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">And I daily am more blest

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Though I can forget her ne'er, <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Yet my mind is free from care,

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">I can calmly live and move; <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Unperceived infatuation <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Longing turns to adoration,

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Turns to reverence my love.

<span style="background-color: #ffff00; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Ne'er can cloud, however light, <span style="background-color: #ffff00; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Float in ether's regions bright, <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">When drawn upwards by the sun, <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">As my heart in rapturous calm. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Free from envy and alarm,

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Ever love I her alone! || <span style="background-color: #ffff00; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Rhyming
