ANNA, THY CHARMS, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: Anna, thy charms my bosom fire
Last Line: So much in sight of heaven.


Anna, thy charms my bosom fire,
And waste my soul with care;
But ah! how bootless to admire,
When fated to despair!

Yet in thy presence, lovely Fair,
To hope may be forgiven;
For sure 'twere impious to despair
So much in sight of heaven.
