Thepoesyaelds Of vanished dreams.
Yes, we h&so1 1rolled among those shades. -
Where fiut our hearts were set on fire,
The land where beauty scarcely fades,
That home with love our hearts inspire.
The same clear stream, whose murmers flung
Upon our ears its softest sound,
Until our harps with love were strung,
Until the spot was hallowed ground;
Has been reseen by fancy's eye.
Has been reheard by fhncy's ear;
All are the same-grove. tree and sky-
The sounds are those we used to hear.
In silent awe we there have safe
And felt the zephyr's balmy wing.
Which did the painting soul elate,
The shattered harp with love restring.
The bird of song with warblings sweet,
Symphonic trills its softest strain.
Zephyr and brook in concert meet,
And bind us with yiewless chain.
ol sacred spot. Oh hallowed ground.
Our fond pulsations beat for thee;
No place Ike thee can e'er be found
The cradle of nativity.
Twas here. o, here; where first our eyes.
Beheld the beauteous works Of God;
Where first we met in mute surprise,
Where first we prest the yerdant sod;
Where first the oderous air inhaled,
First viewed outspread the fowery lawn,
First through the realms Of fancy sailed,
First felt the muses. gentle dawn.
Beneath this venerated oak.
Whose branches SO majestic spread.
Whose trunk escaped the axeman's stroke.
Would we commune with spirits fed.
Then ehide us not that we review
The place. the cradle Of our home,
That we those impid streams persue,
And inly grieye as far weroam.
Hge would we live, here would we die.
Nor ask the stone our names totell.
Forgotten, in one urn TO lie,
And moulder in one silent cell.
