Poems with rhymes of diffuse

To sooth our cares, and thro' the cloud diffuse,
Their tempered sun-shine, and celestial hues?

And bade the summer clouds diffuse
Their balmy store of genial dews.

No more my locks in ringlets curl'd diffuse
The costly sweetness of Arabian dews,

O night! propitious to my views,
Thy sable awning wide diffuse;

There, parted into rainbow hues,
In sweet harmonious strife
We see celestial love diffuse

All brightened by the rich transparent hues
That southern suns o'er heaven and earth diffuse;

The achievements of art may amuse,
May even our wonder excite;
But groves, hills, and valleys diffuse

Grant me despair, thou mightiest Muse!
O'er the vast scene thy spells diffuse,

O, fairest of the sex, be thou my muse;
Deign on my work thy influence to diffuse:

And, as her chilling tears diffuse
O'er the white thorn their silv'ry dews,

Why did not Love the amaranth choose,
That bears no thorns, and cannot perish ?
Alas! no sweets its flowers diffuse,

Where opening Roses breathing sweets diffuse,
And soft Carnations show'r their balmy dews;

O'er all our deep and parching Cares diffuse,
Like Eden's Springs, or Hermon's soft'ning Dews.

Then thus he cried:—“The morn bespoke the news;
The morning did her cheerful light diffuse;

But see, Orion sheds unwholesome dews,
Arise, the pines a noxious shade diffuse;

Yet though for thee, unclouded suns diffuse
Their genial radiance o'er thy blushing plains;
Though in thy fragrant groves the sportive muse

When gath'ring damps the misty Nights diffuse,
She sprinkles all the Morn with balmy Dews;

Some trivial Science shall thy Thoughts amuse;
And Learning's Name a solemn Sound diffuse.

Where Bliss congenial to the MUSE
Shall round my Heart her sweets diffuse,

And the strange constellations which the Muse
O'er her wild universe is skilful to diffuse:
