Into the human breast, and mix with sleep To regulate the motion of our dreams For kindly issues-as through every clime Was felt near murmuring brooks in earliest time; As at this day, the rudest swains who dwell Where torrents roar, or hear the tinkling knell Of water-breaks, with grateful heart could tell. 1846. 1850. SONNET TO AN OCTOGENARIAN AFFECTIONS lose their object; Time brings forth No successors; and, lodged in memory, If love exist no longer, it must die,Wanting accustomed food, must pass from earth, Or never hope to reach a second birth. This sad belief. the happiest that is left To thousands, share not Thou; howe'er bereft, Scorned, or neglected, fear not such a dearth. Though poor and destitute of friends thou art, Perhaps the sole survivor of thy race, One to whom Heaven assigns that mournful part The utmost solitude of age to face, Still shall be left some corner of the heart Where Love for living Thing can find a place. 1846. 1850.

O'er disappointment's wintry desert fling Each flower that wreathed the dewy locks of Spring, When blushing, like a bride, from Hope's trim bower She leapt, awakened by the pattering shower. Now sheds the sinking Sun a deeper gleam, Aid, lovely Sorceress! aid thy Poet's dream! With faery wand O bid the Maid arise, Chaste Joyance dancing in her brightblue eyes; As erst when from the Muses' calm abode I came, with Learning's meed not un bestowed; When as she twined a laurel round my brow, And met my kiss, and half returned my Or mine the power of Proteus, changeful God! 1 A flower-entangled Arbor I would seem To shield my Love from Noontide's sultry beam: Or bloom a Myrtle, from whose odorous boughs My Love might weave gay garlands for her brows. When Twilight stole across the fading vale. To fan my Love I'd be the Evening Gale; Mourn in the soft folds of her swelling vest, And flutter my faint pinions on her breast! On Seraph wing I'd float a Dream by night, To soothe my Love with shadows of delight: Or soar aloft to be the Spangled Skies, And gaze upon her with a thousand eyes! As when the Savage, who his drowsy frame Had basked beneath the Sun's unclouded flame, Awakes amid the troubles of the air, The skiey deluge, and white lightning's glare Aghast he scours before the tempest's |
