MY Damon was the first to wake
The ______ flame that cannot die;
My Damon is the last ______ take
The faithful bosom’s softest sigh:
The life ______ is nothing worth,
O cast it from thy ______ away!
Think of the day that gave it birth,
And this its sweet returning day.
Buried be all ______ has been done,
Or say that naught is ______ amiss;
For who the dangerous path can shun
______ such bewildering world as this?
But love can every ______ forgive,
Or with a tender look reprove;
And ______ let naught in memory live
But that we meet, and that we love.
