Be the dream fulfilled in the nobler age That a nobler manhood shall grandly mould, While his heroes win in the war they wage With oppression of class and lust of gold ; So his truest monument shall rise In England's ennobled destinies !
JOHN GREENLEAF WHITTIER.
Gone beyond the veil, September, 1892.
A TRANQUIL beauty brooded o'er the day, Fairer than summer at its midmost prime, So softly bright the golden sunshine lay In deep content of happy harvest-time. And looking from the gray, pine-cres...ted height, In quiet, thoughtful mood, we spoke of thee, Thy rippling verse, thy clear prophetic sight, Thy crystal purity.
140 Lays of the True North And then came one who mournful tidings bore, For sorrow's steeds fly swiftly on their way Who told us that on earth thou wert no more !
Then stole a shadow o'er the autumn day ; Nor sky nor shore nor river seemed so fair Now thou wert gone, who loved all Nature well ; Even the gray squirrel, shyly chattering there, Seemed the sad news to tell !
Oh, thou who ever didst, through Nature's face, Look inwards to the over-brooding Love ; Who, vainly straining human sight to trace The life unseen, the thought all thoughts above, Didst meekly fold thy hands, and sweetly trust The love thy heart felt though it could not see ; Now thy pure soul is freed from earthly dust, We scarce may mourn for thee !
