Tears our best hopes away, the wounded Heart
Exhausted, leans on all that can impart

To balm our bleeding grief's severest smart;
Nor wholly vain feign'd Pity's solemn art,
Tho' we should penetrate her sable veil.

Respecting, kinder welcome far acquires
Than cold Neglect, or Mirth that Grief profanes.

Gleaming along the moss'd and darken'd lanes,
To cheer the Gloom with her unreal fires. — Anna Seward
