To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He was not that he had been : — there was still The full dark eye — the smooth and open brow ; The smile of true benevolence still play'd Around his lips : but over all was spread A shadow — like a light and new-form'd cloud Seen in the rairror'd ocean. I traced him to his haunt — and there I found The hand of Friendship broken ; and the brow Of Truth was overhung- with cypress boughs. I turn'd mine eyes away. — Alas I thouglit I, And keep'st thou thus the record of life's ills? Deluded man!— t...he time, 1 fear, may come. When all that work of youthful fancy will Be overturn'd, defaced, 'and broken, like False Friendship's hand ! We parted— years roU'd by, and I return'd. The scene was changed : in the gay festal hall, Where once the sparkling- chalice circled round, . And laughter-loving revelry held sway — Where music sounded, beauty smil'd, and Love Sent his wild arrows from delighted eyes, Grim desolation now in darkness reign'd ! 62 MINOR POEMS. For ten long years no human step had waked The slumb'ring echoes of that silent hall.
