Odes Of Anacreon - Ode XL.
By Thomas Moore
I know that Heaven hath sent me here, To run this mortal life's career; The scenes which I have journeyed o'er, Return no more--alas! no more! And all the path I've yet to go, I neither know nor ask to know. Away, then, wizard Care, nor think Thy fetters round this soul to link; Never can heart that feels with me Descend to be a slave to thee! And oh! before the vital thrill, Which trembles at my heart is still, I'll gather Joy's luxuriant flowers, And gild with bliss my fading hours; Bacchus shall bid my winter bloom, And Venus dance me to the tomb!
