Excerpt from The Poetical Works of Thomas Buchanan Read, Vol. 3: Complete in Three Volumes
And more behooves not guest to say The very pictures on the wall With kindness seemed to whisper, Stay 1 Old portraits of a dwindled line, From Lely's ruff and doublet down To Copley's matchless coat and gown, Or Stuart's later touch divine. Still from their frames of gold or oak, A knight or lady shepherdess, In valor or in loveliness, Leaned through the twilight air and spoke: They whispered that the road was dark, And lone the highway by the river, That past recall the latest bark Had swept the landing of the park, There on the stream I still might mark Its fading path Of ripples quiver, And hear the shore-wave running after, Like childhood with a voice of laughter.
