following extract:
POLITICAL PORTRAIT.
Being of beauty and Of grief!
The portraiture should be
Written in burning words, and brief.
Tears, tears for thee
rose that by lonely tomb
Hangs whitening in the sun
The phantom ofits former bloom
Still lingering on:
A rill, once by mountain side,
Companion blithe and boon,
Till searching suns its sweet depths dried,
And quenched its tune
Violet, that no sheltering leaf
Hides from the strong rains swell
Being of beauty and of grief,
These thy fate tell
Desolate in each place oftrust,
Thy bright soul dmmed with care
To the land where is found no race of dust,
Oh look thou there!
