Invites my steps, and points to yonder glade?

Come Grief, and sing a solemn dirge
Beneath this midnight shade;
From central darkness now emerge,
And tread the lonely glade.

And away it proceeds,
Through meadow and glade,

Still clutching the inviolable shade,
With a free, onward impulse brushing through,
By night, the silver’d branches of the glade.

Where'er you walk, cool gales shall fan the glade,
Trees, where you sit, shall crowd into a shade:
Where'er you tread, the blushing flow'rs shall rise,
And all things flourish where you turn your eyes.

 
Alexander Pope
