Excerpt from Dream Life, and Other Poems

The music of thy poet-words First waked my soul to rapture, as it strayed. Inspired by thee, the trembling chords My unskilled fingers first to touch essayed.

Excerpt from Dream Life, and Other Poems

Proem.

Inscribed to Thomas Buchanan Read.

Twice has the year decayed, and twice
The migratory bird has, toward the south,
Winged its unerring flight; the ice
Twice hushed the streams, rain-filled since summer's drouth.

Twice have the garnered fields turned sere;
The forests, twice, their varied foliage shed;
Twice, wintry stars have glittered clear,
Since in his tomb, from sight, I laid my dead.

Thy friend, my father, lieth low;
His words of counsel, like the brooks, are stilled.
To whom but thee, then, can I go
To pour the word-songs that my soul have filled?
