THE PlkER's LAMENT.
For the Eagle.

For the Eagle.
TO A CAPTIVE EAGLE.
Proud and high-soaring bird,
Sadly dost sit. as if age
Had chained thy soul-or. heard
Thy freedom denied in rage.
Idly you muse, and seem to peer
Through the grating wires,
Luckless, though not with crinSing fear,
But as If thy vital fires
Were all but asleep, or hushed
By dread of liberty restrained,
Nor by harsher treatment flushed,
And thy captor sharply blamed
In this cage barely bounding thy form,
Thou dost muteiy sit and gaze
Intent, and motionless as the worm
Round which minnow plays.
Useless now thy majestic wings
That once were wont to soar
Over clouds and earthly things,
For thy triumphs now are DER;
Thou can'st only sit and yainly stare
And dream Of liberty that's past,
Till misery, with compassionate care,
Cuts of thy breath at last.
