# Zinzendorff and Other Poems/Death of Dr. Todd, the Principal of the Retreat for the Insane, in Conn.

DEATH OF DR. TODD, THE PRINCIPAL OF THE RETREAT FOR THE INSANE, IN CONN.
Few have been mourned like thee. The wise and good
Do gather many weepers round their tomb,
And true Affection makes her heart an urn
For the departed idol, till that heart
Is ashes. With such sorrow art thou mourned,
And more than this. There is a cry of woe
Within the halls of yon majestic dome—
A tide of grief, which Reason may not check,
Nor Faith's deep anchor fathom.
 Straining eyes
That gaze on vacancy, do search for thee,
Whose wand could put to flight the fancied ills
Of sick imagination. The wrecked heart
Keepeth the echo of thy soothing voice
An everlasting sigh within its cells,
And morbidly upon that music feeds.
Mind's broken column 'mid its ruins bears
Thy chiselled features. Thy dark eye looks forth
From Memory's watch-tower on the phrenzy dream,
Ruling its imagery, or with strange power
Controlling madness, as the shepherd's harp
Subdued the moody wrath of Israel's king.
Even where the links of thought and speech are broke,
'Mid that most absolute and perfect wreck,
When throneless Reason flies her idiot-foe,
Thou hast a place. The fragments of the soul
Do bear thine impress—shadowy, yet endeared,
And multiplied by countless miseries.
Beside some happy hearth, where fire-side joys
And renovated health, and heaven-born hope
Swell high in contrast with the maniac's cell,
Thou art remembered by some grateful heart,
With the deep rapture of that lunatic,
Whom Jesus healed.
 But there's a wail for thee
From throngs whom this unpitying world doth cast
Out of her company, the scorned, the banned,
The excommunicate. Thou wert their friend—
Thy wasting midnight vigil was for them:
The toil, the watching, and the stifled pang
That stamped thee as a martyr, were for them.
They could not thank thee, save with that strange shriek
Which wounds the gentle ear. Yet thou didst walk
In thy high ministry of love and power,
As a magician 'mid their spectre-foes
And burning visions. Thou didst mark sublime
Death's angel sweeping o'er thy studious page,
And, at his chill monition, laying down
The boasted treasures of philosophy
Didst clothe thyself in meekness, as a child
Waiting the father's will.
 And so farewell,
Thou full of love to all whom God hath made,
Thou tuned to melody, go home! go home!
Where music hath no dissonance, and Love
Doth poise forever on her perfect wing.
# Zinzendorff and Other Poems/Death among the Trees

DEATH AMONG THE TREES.
Death walketh in the forest.
The tall pines
Do woo the lightning-flash, and through their veins
The fire-cup, darting, leaves their blackened trunks
A tablet, for ambition's sons to read
Their destiny. The oak, that centuries spared,
Grows grey at last, and like some time-worn man
Stretching out palsied arms, doth feebly cope
With the destroyer, while its gnarled roots
Betray their trust. The towering elm turns pale,
And faintly strews the sere and yellow leaf,
While from its dead arms falls the wedded vine.
The sycamore uplifts a beacon brow,
Denuded of its honors, and the blast,
Swaying the withered willow, rudely asks
For its lost grace, and for its tissued leaf,
With silver lined.
 I knew that blight might check
The sapling, ere kind Nature's hand could weave
Its first spring-coronal, and that the worm,
Coiling itself amid our garden-plants,
Did make their unborn buds its sepulchre.
And well I knew how wild and wrecking winds
Might take the forest-monarchs by the crown,
And lay them with the lowliest vassal-herb;
And that the axe, with its sharp ministry,
Might, in one hour, such revolution work,
As all Earth's boasted power could never hope
To re-instate. And I had seen the flame
Go crackling up, amid yon verdant boughs,
And with a tyrant's insolence dissolve
Their interlacing, till I felt that man,
For sordid gain would make the forest's pomp
Its heaven-raised arch and living tracery,
One funeral-pyre.
 But, yet I did not deem
That pale Disease amid those shades would steal
As to a sickly maiden's cheek, and waste
The power and plenitude of those high ranks,
Which in their peerage and nobility,
Unrivalled and unchronicled, had reigned.
 And so I said if in this world of knells
And open tombs, there lingereth one whose dream
Is of aught permanent below the skies,
Even let him come and muse among the trees,
For they shall be his teachers; they shall bow
To Wisdom's lessons his forgetful ear,
And, by the whisper of their faded leaves,
Soften to his sad heart the thought of death.
# Zinzendorff and Other Poems/Christian Hope

CHRISTIAN HOPE.
"If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things that are from above, where Christ sitteth at the right hand of God. Set your affections on things above; for ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God."—St. Paul.
If with the Lord your hope doth rest,
 With Christ who reigns above,
Loose from its bonds your captive breast,
 And heavenward point its love.
Yes, heavenward. Ye're of holy birth,
 Bid your affections soar
Above the vain delights of Earth
 Which fading, bloom no more.
Seek ye some pure and thornless rose?
 Some friend with changeless eye? Some fount whence living water flows?
 Go, seek those things on high.
Thither bid Hope a pilgrim go,
 And Faith her mansion rear,
Even while amid this world of woe
 Ye shed the stranger's tear.
If Folly tempts or Sin allures,
 Be dead to all their art,
So shall eternal life be yours
 When time's brief years depart.
# Zinzendorff and Other Poems/Christmas Hymn

CHRISTMAS HYMN
Thou, who once an infant stranger
 Honor'd this auspicious morn,
Thou, who in Judea's manger,
 Wert this day of woman born;
Thou, whom wondering sages offer'd
 Costly gifts, and incense sweet,
Take our homage, humbly proffer'd,
 Grateful kneeling at thy feet:
Thou whose path, a star of glory
 Gladly hasted to reveal,
Herald of salvation's story,
 Touch our hearts with equal zeal:
Thou, at whose approach was given
 Welcome from the angels' lyre,
Teach our souls that song of Heaven,
 Ere we join their tuneful choir.
