Excerpt: ... of the sullen seas, Were once the sun shone bright on flowery leas. Over Earth, and over Being, Over many glories of the Past, Remorseless floods are flowing fierce and fast, Snatching sun-lighted Tempes from our seeing, Rolling their dreary surges o''er the shore, Where Love had hoped to dwell for evermore. Sadly on Time''s heaving ocean, Waving darkly o''er Youth''s Paradise, Back gaze we ever with dim tearful eyes, Seeking old joys beyond its rude commotion, Seeking the old world glories pass''d away, Seeking the golden shores of Life''s Cathay. SONG. Love took me softly by the hand, Love led me all the country o''er, And show''d me beauty in the land, That I had never dreamt before, Never before, Oh! Love! sweet Love! There was a glory in the morn, There was a calmness in the night, A mildness by the south wind borne, That I had never felt aright, Never aright, Oh! Love! sweet Love! But now it cannot pass away, I see it wheresoe''er I go, And in my heart by night and day, Its gladness waveth to and fro, By night and day, Oh! Love! sweet Love! THE BELL. Through the calm and silent air Floats the tolling funeral bell, Swooning over hill and dell, Heavy laden with despair; Mute between each muffled stroke, Sad as though a dead voice spoke, Out of the dim Past time spoke, Stands my heart all mute with care. The Bell is tolling on, and deep, Deep and drear into my heart All its bitter accents dart. Peace! sad chime, I will not weep- What is there within thy tone, That should wring my heart alone, Rive it with this endless moan? Peace! and let past sorrows sleep! Fling your music on the breeze, Mock the sighing of the willows, Mock the lapping of the billows, Mock not human sympathies; Slow chime, sad chime, mock me not, With that loved voice ne''er forgot, Flooding me with tears blood-hot; Mock not soul-deep...
