Look upon that hour-marked round,
Listen to that fateful sound ;
There my silent hand is stealing.
My more silent course revealing ;
Wild, devoted Pleasure, hear, -
Stay thee on thy mad career ! (Letitia Elizabeth Landon)

Look upon that hour-marked round, Listen to that fateful sound ; There my silent hand is stealing. My more silent course revealing ; Wild, devoted Pleasure, hear, - Stay thee on thy mad career !
