Who wrought out those idols from common
stone2
Their names are now perished and unknown
What names gave they 10 those idols o.
theirs2
And what kings reigned o'e. that city that
It's white columns up, as something cen now
To show that man did then to idols bow
Alone in the dusky, tropical forest
The ruins stand, seeming strangely careless
Of the world around,-of living and dying
Their devotees are now but as dust there
lying!
The glory is gone from the city old,
Its history hidden by ages damp mould.
Copan, city of idols, would love
To wander through the vast, unbroken grove,
That has grown up since thou hast been dead;
And if feeling of strange awe and dread
Would steal DER me, Iwould think spirits
grim,
Were walking with me in the forest dim.
What hdeous faces carved with scrupulous
What a weird-like look they seem 10 wear |
And if before them should stand, l know,
Strange fancies would through my brain
come and gol
And there, in that vast solitude, | would
To see the realization of some dream
Yes, some dream, for often in moments like
gold,
I've seemed to stand midst ruins white,
weird, and cold
To wander there, imagining there through
the gloom,
I could read their history, though ages loom
Dark between, Imagination lives strong,
And DER such fingers, s,-attracted SO long.
But we bow to idols in our hearts now,
And show it by the lines of care on the brow;
Earthly idols w-every one has some type,
human,
That seems with joy, the future to illumine,
But 10 oft they ar. crushed by storm,
That scatters all before it in wild alarm.
"Our idols" they are formed of common
clay!
If we do not to them kneel down and pray
They hold our hearts affections, greatest
gift
And our thoughts turn to them ever and
swift;
They keep the full love of Heaven from us,
Hide the glory-light of the stars above us.
Yes even the human heart ever so frail,
Sends after its dead idol a sad wall;
Looking in the ast,-"what might have
been r.
Looking unto death, wondering when
Shall come the day, idols shall melt away,
And they stand strengthened in that future
day.
'Stone idols" hidden in that Southern cline
Invoking no music but the winds low chime
I seem to see them standing, grim and white
In the trees deep shade,-in the dim, weirt
light
What lessons ye teach of the dying past,
Records of ages going silently and fast
