Emerson is an able lecturer, a most distinguished es- sayist, and an eminent poet He perceives the evils iu society, the falsehoods ol popular opinions, and the unhappy tendencies of common feelings. He is an original and inde)ieudent thinker, and conmiands attention botii by the novelty- of his views and tiie graces and peculiarities of his style. 117. Thb Closing Year. 1. TfllS midnight's holy hour — and silence now JL Is brooding, like a gentle spirit, o'er The still and pulseless world. Har...k! on the winds The bell's deep tones are swelling — ^'tis the knell «, Of the departed year. No funeral train Is sweeping past ; ydt, on the stream and wood, Wifii melancholy light, the moonbeams rest Like a pale, spotless shrond ; the air is stirr'd As by a mourner's sigh ; and on ydn cloud. That floats so still and placidly through heaven, The fepirits of the seasons seem to stand, — Young Spring, bright Summer, Autumn's solemn Torm And Winter with his aged locks, — ^and breathe, In mournful cadences, that come abroad Like the far wind-harp's wild and touching wail, A melancholy dirge o'er the dead year.
