AND FIRST AN HOUR OF MOURNFUL MUSING, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
Alternate Author Name(s): Bell, Ellis


And first an hour of mournful musing
And then a gush of bitter tears
And then a dreary calm diffusing
Its deadly mist o'er joys and cares


And then a throb and then a lightening
And then a breathing from above
And then a star in heaven brightening
The star the glorious star of love
