Usage in poetry
But soon their beauty and their force
Sweet hours of rest renew;
Full soon their light, their varied course
Careering they pursue.
So, gilded by the glow of youth,
Our varied life looks fair and gay;
And so remains the naked truth,
When that false light is past away.
I love not yon gay, painted flower,
Of bold and coarsely blended dye,
But one, whose nicely varied power
May long detain the curious eye.
Here are varied strains that sing
All the changes life can bring,
Songs when joyous friends have met,
Songs the mourner's tears have wet.
Ah! sweet babe, in that calm slumber
Vainly would my soul divine
What varied ills thy days may number,
What miseries Fate may thee design.
To which, soft whistles of the wind,
And warbling murmurs of a brook,
And varied notes of leaves that shook,
An harmony of parts did bind.
