TO THE MEMORY OF MARGARET FULLER.
By z. CAKES SMITH.
WE hailed thee, Margaret from the sea
We hailed thee FER the wave,
AID little thought in greeting thee,
Thy homo would be grave.
We best thee in thy laurel crowd,
And in the myrtle's sheen
Rejoiced thy noble worth to own,
Still joy, our tears between.l
We hoped that many happy year
Would bless thy coming feet;
And thy bright fame grow brighter here,
BY Fatherland made sweet.
Gone, gone with all thy glorious thought
Gone with thy waking life
With tn green chaplet Fame had wrought
The joy Of Mother, Wife.
Oh who shall dare thy Harp to take,
And pour upon the air
The clear, calm music, that should wake
The heart TO love and prayer
The lip, all eloquent, is stilled
And silent with its trust
The heart, with Womans greatness fiued,
Must crumble to the dust;
But from thy great heart we will take
New courage for the strife
From petty ills our bondage break,
And labor with new life.
Wake up in darkness though it be
To better truth and light;
Patient in toll, as we saw thee,
In searching for the light;
And mindless OF the soorn it brings,
For tbs in Desert land
That Angels come with sheltering wings
To lead us by the hand.
Courageous one thou art not lost,
Though sleeping in the wave
Upon its chaipless pillows tossed,
For thee is fitting grave.
