JBltgant extract from the “ Power of Solitude/*
A POEM.
JBY JOSEPH STOuY, Ex*, ot Salem.
Go, view the convent’s dull monastic ({loom,
Cold as despair, and silent, as the tomb,
"Where harsh religion rules with bigot sway
Thu lingering hour, and damps the tedious
day;
Where rayless horror o’er the embrio joy
Hangs, like some fiend, to strangle Sc destroy ;
In vain the bosoin heaves with passion’s sigh,
Rubies the lip, or mchs the azure eye ;
In vain the cheek with love’s carnation glows,
Or through the heart voluptuous riot flows ;
Since here the virgin pines in Holy dread
Spouse of despair, and tenant with the dead
Still here are charms by mental truth rtfin •
cd.
To lure affliction from the wounded mind :
Here vestal zeal on rapt devotion soars.
With faith’s keen eye the future world ex.
plores,
Leads faultering hope through error’s dubious
road,
And lights the trembling soul to heaven’s a*
bode.
Hark, from yon cloisters, wrapt in gloom
* profound.
The solemn organ peals its midnight sound :
The choral anthem swells along the aisle,
Bursts the deep vaults and shakes the echoing
pile,
While trembling gleams, as distant tapers
move,
Sweep the cold walls, and fringe the cypress
grove.
With cautious reverence round their glimmer
ing shrine
Press the meek nuns, and raise the prayer di
vine ;
Here, weeping penance lifts her reddened
eye,
Pours the weak plaint, and breathes a heart*
felt sigh ;
There, wan devotion bends with wistful gaze,
Or chants the vocal hymn of vesper praise ;
"While, pure in thought as sweet reposes rise,
Each grief subsides, each wild emotion dies
Heaven's calm delights their erring souls em
ploy,
And sweet seclusion whispers promised
joy.
Else, when bold freedom late in thunder’s
voice
Svirst their dim cells, and bade the dead re
joice,
Recalled the victims from despair’s embrace,
And rent the vestal veil from beauty’s lace,
Why did the lingering train, with anxious
view,
Haag o’er the walls, and weep and wave a
dicn ?
IVhy ask with suppliant tears the warlike
brave
To grant a cloister’s life, a cloister’s grave ?
Ah ! then remembrance with convulsive start
Renewed those scenes, ere while which sooth
ed the heart,
When kind religion, as the vespers closed.
Each wish attempered, and each care com*
posed.
So chained by tyrant power in cursed Bas
tile,
Whose weeping walls uncounted wrongs re
veal.
Fate’s hopeless victim, prey of cankerous care,
On torture feeds, and surfeits on despair
Rut hark ! the portal on its hinges jars.
And freedom’s arm unbolts the ponderous
bars,
Enwrapt in flames she melts his chains away,
And leads the astonished captive forth to day :
Yet lo, what sadness wastes his shrivelled
cheek,
"What strangled utterance mocks the wish to
speak 1
His muttered sighs implore from generous
fate
The flinty pillow, and the rayless grate.
Alas ! with light reflection woke her reign,
And turned at memory’s touch the whole to
• pain :
No glance of welcome meets his searching
eye>
No pitying children echo sigh for sigh ;
In vain he ask3 a home from door to door,
The place which knew him once, knows him
no more ;
E’en the few friendc, whom heaven had taught
his woes,
The narrow home had lodged in long repose :
Nought, nought, remained to sooth the strau
ger’s care,
Save the lone wails, his prison, and his pray
er !
