Lyrics: Lucy Aikin

Are the white hours for ever fled,
That us'd to mark the cheerful day?
And ev'ry blooming pleasure dead,
That led th'enraptur'd soul astray?

Too fast, the rosy-footed train,
The best delicious moments pass'd;
Pleasure must now give way to pain,
And grief succeeds to joy at last.

O daughters of eternal Jove,
Return with the returning year!
Bring pleasure back, and smiles and love;
Let blooming love again appear.
