Woe for thine evil times and lot, brave chief!
Thy sadly-closing story, Thy quickly-vanished glory, Thy high but hopeless struggle, brave and brief.
Woe for the bitter stain That from our country's banner may not part !
Woe for the captive — woe!
For bitter pains and slow Are his who dieth of the fevered heart.
Oh, in that spirit land, Where never yet the oppressor's foot hath passed' Chief! by those sparkling: streams Whose beauty mocks our dreams, May that high heart have won its rest at last... !
172 LUCY HOOPER.
TO A BOY FLYING HIS KITE.
Ay, swift be the motion and high the flight Of thy beautiful and buoyant kite, Fair boy ! may it fly far, far beyond This earth, that in darkness hath pined so long, Nor stop till it reaches yonder cloud, That floats above as in beauty proud !
And deepened thought gathers o'er thy face — Hath it found in pure regions a dwelling-place ?
And will it away, and leave thee there, To trace its last path in the summer air ?
A foolish dream — and thy shout rings free Its flitting form again to see, While thy thought turns glad to the cord in thy hand, That a thing so wild is at thy command !
