POE TRY Y
THE BARDS.
BY THOMAS BUCHANAN READ.


When the sweet day in silence hath departed,
And twilight comes with dewey, downcast eyes
The glowing spirits of the mighty hearted
Like stars around me rise:
Old Homer's song, in mighty undulations
Comes surging, ceuseless, up the Oblivous main
hear the rivers from succeeding nations
Go answering down again.
4Iear vrgils stream in chungeful currents stroll
ing,
And Tasso sweeping round through Paestinei
And Dante's deep and solemn river rolling
Through groves OF midnight pine
hear the iron Horsemnn's numbers ringing
Through frozen Norway, like herald's horn;
And like q lark hear glorious Chaocer singing
Away in Englund's morn.
Tn Rbenish halls hear tie Pilgrim lover
Weave his wild story to the wailing string,
Till the young maidens eyes are brimning over,
Like the sweet cup she brings.
And heat from Scottish hills the souls unquiet
Pouri ng in torrents their perpetual lays,
AT their impetuous mountain tunnels not
In the long rainy days.
The worldwide Shakspenre-the imperial Spenser,
Whose shafts of song o'ertop the angels seats;
And o'er the soul, like odors from e censor,
Float tire sweet dreams Of Keats!
These ore the Bards, who like our forests tower,
Firm in their strength as are the mountain trees!
I were content could but be flower
Up at the feet Of these!
