Not illustrated. 1861 Excerpt: ...their ringing echoes, when They sounded in the crystal-columned hall Of the nine sister-goddesses, and then Pour them back--all In one sweet solemn flood of melody, One parting ray of glorious lustre, ere To other scenes and other climes I fly, To linger there. Like some dim sun, that, all the day in cloud Entombed, has hid his fires beneath its night, Yet, ere his race be run, has burst his shroud In floods of light, And all the hills grow purple, and the sky Glows with the dying god; and ocean's surge Burns his vast pyre; while yon wild sea-bird's cry Is but his dirge.

They loved, perchance; and yet their love has passed: They mourned; what heart responds now to their wail? Their loves, their woes, their hopes, are hid at last Beneath the veil. So what they toiled for, with such endless care, Time's ocean swept from off the fickle strand; And we shall toil--poor insects, that we are--And build--on sand. And yet methinks a voice within me cries--" Oh, coward spirit! faint'st thou at the track? " Wilt thou, when Heaven straight on before thee lies--" Wilt thou turn back?
