stay thy course, this moment stay--<br>Suspend the o'er flowing tide of day,<br>Divulge not such a love as mine,<br>Ah! hide the mystery divine;<br>Lest man, who deems my glory shame,<br>Should learn the secret of my flame.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">O night! propitious to my views,<br>Thy sable awning wide diffuse;<br>Conceal alike my joy and pain,<br>Nor draw thy curtain back again,<br>Though morning, by the tears she shows,<br>Seems to participate my woes.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">Ye stars! whose faint and feeble fires<br>Express my languishing desires,<br>Whose slender beams pervade the skies,<br>As silent as my secret sighs,<br>Those emanations of a soul,<br>That darts her fires beyond the Pole;</div><div style="margin:10px 0">Your rays, that scarce assist the sight,<br>That pierce, but not displace the night;<br>That shine indeed, but nothing shew<br>Of all those various scenes below,<br>Bring no disturbance, rather prove<br>Incentives to a sacred love.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">Thou moon! whose never–failing course<br>Bespeaks a providential force,<br>Go, tell the tidings of my flame<br>To Him who calls the stars by name;<br>Whose absence kills, whose presence cheers;<br>Who blots, or brightens, all my years.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">While, in the blue abyss of space,<br>Thine orb performs its rapid race;<br>Still whisper in his listening ears<br>The language of my sighs and tears;<br>Tell him, I seek him, far below,<br>Lost in a wilderness of woe.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">Ye thought–composing, silent hours,<br>Diffusing peace o'er all my powers;<br>Friends of the pensive, who conceal,<br>In darkest shades, the flames I feel;<br>To you I trust, and safely may,<br>The love that wastes my strength away.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">In sylvan scenes and caverns rude,<br>I taste the sweets of solitude;<br>Retired indeed, but not alone,<br>I share them with a spouse unknown,<br>Who hides me here from envious eyes,<br>From all intrusion and surprise.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">Imbowering shades and dens profound!<br>Where echo rolls the voice around;<br>Mountains! whose elevated heads<br>A moist and misty veil o'erspreads;<br>Disclose a solitary bride<br>To him I love--to none beside.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">Ye rills, that, murmuring all the way,<br>Among the polished pebbles stray;<br>Creep silently along the ground,<br>Lest, drawn by that harmonious sound,<br>Some wanderer, whom I would not meet,<br>Should stumble on my loved retreat.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">Enamelled meads, and hillocks green,<br>And streams that water all the scene,<br>Ye torrents, loud in distant ears,<br>Ye fountains, that receive my tears,<br>Ah! still conceal, with caution due,<br>A charge I trust with none but you.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">If, when my pain and grief increase<br>I seem to enjoy the sweetest peace,<br>It is because I find so fair,<br>The charming object of my care,<br>That I can sport and pleasure make<br>Of torment suffered for his sake.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">Ye meads and groves, unconscious things!<br>Ye know not whence my pleasure springs;<br>Ye know not, and ye cannot know,<br>The source from which my sorrows flow:<br>The dear sole cause of all I feel,--<br>He knows, and understands them well.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">Ye deserts, where the wild beasts rove,<br>Scenes sacred to my hours of love;<br>Ye forests, in whose shades I stray,<br>Benighted under burning day;<br>Ah! whisper not how blest am I,<br>Nor while I live, nor when I die.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">Ye lambs, who sport beneath these shades,<br>And bound along the mossy glades;<br>Be taught a salutary fear,<br>And cease to bleat when I am near:<br>The wolf may hear your harmless cry,<br>Whom ye should dread as much as I.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">How calm, amid these scenes, my mind;<br>How perfect is the peace I find!<br>Oh hush, be still, my every part,<br>My tongue, my pulse, my beating heart!<br>That love, aspiring to its cause,<br>May suffer not a moment's pause.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">Ye swift–finned nations, that abide<br>In seas, as fathomless as wide;<br>And, unsuspicious of a snare,<br>Pursue at large your pleasures there;<br>Poor sportive fools! how soon does man<br>Your heedless ignorance trepan.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">Away! dive deep into the brine,<br>Where never yet sunk plummet line;<br>Trust me, the vast leviathan<br>Is merciful, compared with man;<br>Avoid his arts, forsake the beach,<br>And never play within his reach.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">My soul her bondage ill endures;<br>I pant for liberty like yours;<br>I long for that immense profound,<br>That knows no bottom and no bound:<br>Lost in infinity, to prove<br>The incomprehensible of love.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">Ye birds, that lessen as ye fly,<br>And vanish in the distant sky;<br>To whom yon airy waste belongs,<br>Resounding with your cheerful songs;<br>Haste to escape from human sight;<br>Fear less the vulture and the kite.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">How blest and how secure am I,<br>When, quitting earth, I soar on high;<br>When lost, like you I disappear,<br>And float in a sublimer sphere;<br>Whence falling, within human view,<br>I am ensnared and caught like you!</div><div style="margin:10px 0">Omniscient God, whose notice deigns,<br>To try the heart and search the reins,<br>Compassionate the numerous woes,<br>I dare not, e'en to thee, disclose;<br>O save me from the cruel hands<br>Of men who fear not thy commands!</div><div style="margin:10px 0">Love, all–subduing and divine,<br>Care for a creature truly thine;<br>Reign in a heart, disposed to own<br>No sovereign but thyself alone;<br>Cherish a bride who cannot rove,<br>Nor quit thee for a meaner love!</div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br /></a><br />poem by <a href="http://en.citatepedia.ro/by.php?a=William+Cowper">William Cowper</a><div class=q>

Lest man, who deems my glory shame,
