Oh no ! unpitying law had lent The blackest brand of punishment ; And, thirst for highest moral merit, Enjoin'd them all, with ardent spirit, To reverence well the holy mark, 79 80 RAYMOND HILL.
And keep its awful traces dark.
His worth, which all so clearly knew, In swathing shadows, left the view, As darkness work'd in every eye, And "Vile impostor ! " was the cry. Some hearts with faint relentings yearn'd ; Some rays of pity faintly burn'd ; But every sound of pity's tone, So very chill and ...hoarse had grown, So dull, beneath the smothering dress Of lofty-brow' d self-righteousness, So edg'd with pious horror's glare, That gloom' d and heated all the air, That pity made him more forlorn, Than e'en the loudest curse of scorn.
Oh ye, whose goodness is serene As moonlight slumbering over snow, Whose glistering graces, always seen, RAYMOND HILL.
Along your mantle's surface glow : And ye, whose dark intensity, And hissing virtues, make us see How easily the curses start, When pious hatreds stir the heart ; Ye too have human hearts, beneath The heavily swathing folds of death, Whose disentangled, mighty beat, Aglow with spirit-cleansing heat, Would lighten thro', and disenchant The soul-bewildering gloom of Cant Oh set them free !
