On the Birth-Day of a Valued Friend
When pious Gratitude recounts its store,
From Sorrow's gloom and dark Deception free,
With meek submission, humbly to adore,
Oh gentle Clara , will I think on thee!
Thy courteous image, now methinks I see,
Cheerful Goodness—gentle and serene,
A claims no preference, yet adorns the scene!—
To form'd each ruthless passion to reprove,
And suits the season of celestial Love.
