New-York daily tribune., 1842-12-15

Shall with thee gaze that uniathomcd deep,
The Human Soul as when, pushed off the shore,
Thy bark would through the darkness sweep,
Itself the while SO bright! For oft we seemed
As staress sea-oll dark above,
All dark below-yet, onward as drove,
To plough up light that round streamed.
But he who mourns is not berett
Of all he loved thy living Truths are left.
