Ode to Pity by Jane Austen
\n1<\/p>\n

Ever musing I delight to tread
\nThe Paths of honour and the Myrtle Grove
\nWhilst the pale Moon her beams doth shed
\nOn disappointed Love.
\nWhile Philomel on airy hawthorn Bush
\nSings sweet and Melancholy, And the thrush
\nConverses with the Dove.<\/p>\n

2<\/p>\n

Gently brawling down the turnpike road,
\nSweetly noisy falls the Silent Stream–
\nThe Moon emerges from behind a Cloud
\nAnd darts upon the Myrtle Grove her beam.
\nAh! then what Lovely Scenes appear,
\nThe hut, the Cot, the Grot, and Chapel queer,
\nAnd eke the Abbey too a mouldering heap,
\nCnceal’d by aged pines her head doth rear
\nAnd quite invisible doth take a peep.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
