Such wo, alas ! is ours !
The loving and beloved are wrapped In one dark doom ; and rudely snapped Is friendship's bond of flowers ;^ And o'er us the Destroyer hath Unfurled the banners of his wrath ; 4* 41 42 POEMS Then well may grief prevail, And deeply graved on cheek and brow Of every face one meeteth now Be sorrow's dismal tale ; And yet, how little can we see Of the wrung bosom's agony !
A DREAM OF THE SEA.
I ne'er have seen the sea save in my dreams.
Yet on its beauty, majesty and power ...I have so often looked that now it seems Something with which I even from childhood's hour Have been acquent ; and of its voice each tone Is to my ear familiar as mine own.
Yes, I have seen it in its every mood.
Not oftener basking in the morn's sweet light — Its brawling humour for awhile subdued Beneatij an influence so calm and bright — Than when in mountain forms its billows rise, And, Titan like, do battle with the skies.
POEMS. 43 Nor oftener when the young moon's tender beams Glint o'er its surface, which, hke maiden's breast, When happy love with gladness fills her dreams, So gently sinks and swells in sweet unrest ; Than when the sun in midday splendour burns, And glance for glance as fiercely back returns.
