Know'st thou the land? 'tis there our footsteps tend; And there, my gentle guide, our course shall end. Know'st thou the mount, where clouds obscure the day; Where scarce the mule can trace his misty way ; Where lurks the dragon and her scaly brood ; And broken rocks oppose the headlong flood ? Know'st thou the land? 'tis there our course shall end! There lies our way ah, thither let us tend ! LUDWIG HEINREICH CRISTOPH. HOLTY. THIS distinguished Poet was the son of a Clergyman, of Mariensee, in... the kingdom of Hanover, where he was born on the 21st of December, 1748, and died in 1776. In his love of solitude, and attachment to the wilder scenes of Nature, he resembled Burger, but in temper he was widely different; for, from earliest infancy he was characterized by more than ordinary vivacity of disposition; and so eager was his ardour for study, that he scarcely allowed himself leisure for his meals, and snatched many an hour from the time destined for repose. In his intercourse with society, he was always cheerful, gentle, kind, and benevolent.
