332 The FALL of TURA:
nefs, when a voice tells him, that, foon, he will reach his fathers.
— Malvina, fhall we not tlien meet the friends for whom we
mourn ; and, in their converfe, again rejoice ? — Shall there be any
grief dwelling in the clouds ; fhall there be any mourner there ?
— Shall the father, in that place, lofe his Ofcar ; or Malvina
mourn over the tomb of her love? — Shall Evirallin, there, be torn
from her Offian ; the hall, like Tura, be burnt ; or the friends by
death be divided ? — No ; fair beam ! the light of our gladnefs
ihall not be darkened : our joy no more fhall wafle as the moon,
nor fhrink as the fea, and retire. Our friends, no more, fliall be
ftars that forfake their blue place, and leave their companions
mournful. No : they will always attend us in the joy of our
courfe ; they will pour their light and their glad fong around us.
— Give, then, thy tears to the wind, daughter of Tofcar ! ceafe
from thy grief, Malvina, lonely bird !
