# Felicia Hemans in Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine Volume 23 1828/To Mrs. Hemans

Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine, Volume 23, Page 642
TO MRS HEMANS,
On her intended Publication, entitled, "Records of Woman."
"Records of Woman!"—shall they not be fair,
Born in thy soul's pure depths, and garner'd there,
'Mid thoughts of loftier birth, and sunnier clime,
Breathing Heaven's fragrance o'er frail flow'rs of Time? "Records of Woman!"-shall they not be bright,
By Fancy's pencil traced, in hues of light,
Upon the clear cerulean skies that shed
Eternal sunshine round the Poet's head?
Shall not their source be deep—when every thought
Is with a gifted sister's instinct fraught—
When the enchanted lyre in every tone
Breathes but some mystic feeling all her own?—
If thoughts heroic soar their reckless way
Like captive eaglets rushing to the day—
While notes that wake the very soul of grief,
Seem the imprison'd nightingale's relief—
And heav'n-born tones, too deathless to be mute,
Sigh from the fragments of the shiver'd lute,
Shall not the soul, responsive to thy skill,
In smiles, in tears, in death—be Woman's still?
 'Twill be as when the eye entranced explores
The sunlit peaks, deep vales, and forests green,
Earth's lavish gems encircling Leman's shores
With zone of matchless beauty. Lo! the scene
Grows lovelier still—the unsullied waters lend
Their magic mirror—hues ethereal blend
With tints of earth. Alas; for painter's art
Foil'd by this mirror!—Thine is in thy heart! Genevra.

Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine, Volume 24, Page 353
THE MESSAGE TO THE DEAD.
"Messages from the Living to the Dead are not uncommon in the Highlands. The Gael have such a ceaseless consciousness of Immortality, that their departed friends are considered as merely absent for a time; and permitted to relieve the hours of separation by occasional intercourse with the objects of their earliest affection." See the Notes to Mrs Brunton's "Discipline."
Thou’rt passing hence, my brother!
 Oh! my earliest friend, farewell!
Thou'rt leaving me without thy voice,
 In a lonely home to dwell;
And from the hills, and from the hearth,
 And from the household tree,
With thee departs the lingering mirth,
 The brightness goes with thee.
 But thou, my friend, my brother!
 Thou'rt speeding to the shore
Where the dirge-like tone of parting words,
 Shall smite the soul no more!
And thou wilt see our holy dead,
 The lost on earth and main;
Into the sheaf of kindred hearts
 Thou wilt be bound again!
 Tell thou our friend of boyhood,
 That yet his name is heard On the blue mountains, whence his youth
 Pass'd like a swift bright bird.
The light of his exulting brow,
 The vision of his glee,
Are on me still—oh! still I trust
 That smile again to see.
 And tell our fair young sister,
 The rose cut down in spring,
That yet my gushing soul is fill'd
 With lays she loved to sing.
Her soft deep eyes look through my dreams,
 Tender and sadly sweet;
Tell her my heart within me burns
 Once more that gaze to meet!
 And tell our white-hair'd father,
 That in the paths he trode,
The child he loved, the last on earth,
 Yet walks, and worships God.
Say, that his last fond blessing yet
 Rests on my soul like dew,
And by its hallowing might I trust
 Once more his face to view.
 And tell our gentle mother,
 That o'er her grave I pour
The sorrows of my spirit forth,
 As on her breast of yore!
Happy thou art, that soon, how soon!
 Our good and bright will see;
Oh! brother, brother! may I dwell
 Ere long with them and thee!
F. H.

Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine, Volume 24, Pages 783-784
THE LAND OF DREAMS.
"And dreams, in their developement, have breath,
And tears, and tortures, and the touch of joy;
They leave a weight upon our waking thoughts,
They make us what we were not—what they will,
And shake us with the vision that's gone by."
Byron.
O Spirit-Land! thou land of dreams! A world thou art of mysterious gleams,
Of startling voices, and sounds at strife—
A world of the dead in the hues of life.
Like a wizard's magic glass thou art,
When the wary shadows float by and part;
Visions of aspects now lov'd, now strange,
Glimmering and mingling in ceaseless change,
Thou art like a City of the Past,
With its gorgeous halls into fragments cast,
Amidst whose ruins there glide and play,
Familiar forms of the world's to-day.
Thou art like the depths where the seas have birth,
Rich with the wealth that is lost from earth—
All the blighted flowers of our days gone by,
And the buried gems in thy bosom lie.
Yes! thou art like those dim sea-caves,
A realm of treasures, a realm of graves!
And the shapes, through thy mysteries that come and go,
Are of Beauty and Terror, of Power and Woe.
But for me, O thou picture-land of sleep!
Thou art all one world of affections deep—
And wrung from my heart is each flushing dye,
That sweeps o'er thy chambers of imagery.
And thy bowers are fair—even as Eden fair!
All the beloved of my soul are there!
The forms, my spirit most pines to see,
The eyes, whose love hath been life to me.
They are there—and each blessed voice I hear,
Kindly, and joyous, and silvery clear;
But under-tones are in each, that say—
"It is but a dream, it will melt away!"
I walk with sweet friends in the sunset's glow,
I listen to music of long ago;
But one thought, like an omen, breathes faint through the lay—
"It is but a dream, it will melt away!"
I sit by the hearth of my early days,
All the home-faces are met by the blaze—
And the eyes of the mother shine soft, yet say—
"It is but a dream, it will melt away!"
And away, like a flower's passing breath, 'tis gone,
And I wake more sadly, more deeply lone!
Oh! a haunted heart is a weight to bear—
Bright faces, kind voices!—where are ye, where?
Shadow not forth, O thou land of dreams!
The past as it fled by my own blue streams—
Make not my spirit within me burn,
For the scenes and the hours that may ne'er return.
Call out from the future thy visions bright,
From the world o'er the grave take thy solemn light,
And oh! with the Lov'd, when no more I see,
Show me my home, as it yet may be.
As it yet may be in some purer sphere,
No cloud, no parting, no sleepless fear;
So my soul may bear on through the long, long day,
Till I go where the beautiful melts not away.
F. H.

Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine, Volume 23, Page 874
NATURE'S FAREWELL.
"The beautiful is vanish'd, and returns not."
Coleridge's Wallenstein.
A Youth rode forth from his childhood's home,
Through the crowded paths of the world to roam,
And the green leaves whisper'd, as he pass'd,
"Wherefore, thou dreamer! away so fast?
"Knew'st thou with what thou art parting here,
Long would'st thou linger in doubt and fear;
Thy heart's free laughter, thy sunny hours,
Thou hast left in our shades with the Spring's wild flowers.
"Under the arch by our mingling made,
Thou and thy brother have gaily play'd;
Ye may meet again where ye roved of yore,
But as ye have met there—oh! never more!"
On rode the youth—and the boughs among,
Thus the wild birds o'er his pathway sung:—
"Wherefore so fast unto life away?
Thou art leaving for ever thy joy in our lay!
"Thou may'st come to the Summer woods again,
And thy heart have no echo to greet this strain;
Afar from the foliage its love will dwell,
A change must pass o'er thee—Farewell, farewell!"
On rode the youth; and the founts and streams
Thus mingled a voice with his joyous dreams:—
"We have been thy playmates through many a day,
Wherefore thus leave us?—Oh! yet delay!
"Listen but once to the sound of our mirth;
For thee 'tis a melody passing from earth!
Never again wilt thou find in its flow
The peace it could once on thy heart bestow.
"Thou wilt visit the scenes of thy childhood's glee,
With the breath of the world on thy spirit free;
Passion and sorrow its depths will have stirr'd,
And the singing of waters be vainly heard.
"Thou wilt bear in our gladsome laugh no part;
What should it do for a burning heart? Thou wilt bring to the banks of our freshest rill,
Thirst which no fountain on earth may still!
"Farewell!—when thou comest again to thine own,
Thou wilt miss from our music its loveliest tone!
Mournfully true is the tale we tell—
Yet on, fiery dreamer!—Farewell, farewell!"
And a something of gloom on his spirit weigh'd,
As he caught the last sounds of his native shade;
But he knew not, till many a bright spell broke,
How deep were the oracles nature spoke! F. H.

Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine, Volume 24, Page 614
TASSO'S CORONATION.*
A crown of victory! a triumphal song!
Oh! call some friend, upon whose pitying heart
The weary one may calmly sink to rest;
Let some kind voice, beside his lowly couch,
Pour the last prayer for mortal agony.
A trumpet's note is in the sky, in the glorious Roman sky,
Whose dome hath rung, so many an age, to the voice of Victory;
There is crowding to the Capitol, th' imperial streets along,
For again a conqueror must be crown'd, a kingly child of song.
Yet his chariot lingers,
Yet around his home
Broods a shadow silently,
'Midst the joy of Rome.
A thousand thousand laurel-boughs are waving wide and far,
To shed out their triumphal gleams around his rolling car;
A thousand haunts of olden gods have given their wealth of flowers,
To scatter o'er his path of fame bright hues in gem-like showers,
Peace within his chamber,
Low the mighty lies,
With a cloud of dreams on his noble brow,
And a wandering in his eyes.
Sing, sing for Him, the Lord of song, for him whose rushing strain
In mastery o'er the spirit sweeps, like a strong wind o'er the main!
Whose voice lives deep in burning hearts, for ever there to dwell,
As a full-toned Oracle's enshrined in a temple's holiest cell.
Yes, for him, the victor,
Sing—but low, sing low!
A soft, sad miserere chaunt,
For a soul about to go!
The sun, the sun of Italy is pouring o'er his way,
Where the old three hundred triumphs moved, a flood of golden day;
Streaming through every haughty arch of the Cæsars' past renown— Bring forth, in that exulting light, the conqueror for his crown!
Shut the proud bright sunshine
From the fading sight!
There needs no ray by the bed of death,
Save the holy taper's light.
The wreath is twined—the way is strewn—the lordly train are met—
The streets are hung with coronals—why stays the minstrel yet?
Shout! as an army shouts in joy around a royal chief—
Bring forth the bard of chivalry, the bard of love and grief!
Silence!—forth we bring him,
In his last array;
From love and grief the freed, the flown—
Way for the bier—make way!
