Well for all, at last, Who find a haven, when Life's toils are past. I - THE TOLL-GATHERER. A long and weary road I trod, One sultry summer's day, With scarce an intervening shade To tempt the traveler's stay; Or cooling spring, or sylvan lake, From which my burning thirst to slake. High overhead, an August sun Looked down with steadfast gaze; And, like the points of heated spears, Pierced through and through his rays No coat of mail, or shield of hide, Could shelter from the burning tide. The ...fields with trembling ardor glowed; As in Love's first excess, The doubting victim scarcely knows If love, indeed, doth bless Then turns with yielding look, aside, And bears, as best, the fevered tide. The robust maize that greets the sun, And with a lover's eye Looks up to catch his brightest beams, When noon-tide crowns the sky, Now dropt its slender arms, and stood, Like one in her first widowhood. 42 THE TOLL-GATHERER. Those fairest "Children of the Sun "- The bright-eyed summer flow'rs, That drink the morning's sweetness up To woo the twilight hours, Hung down their heads, in field and grove, Abashed by Sol's untempered love.
