L 14(i TO INVERARY. RETROSPECTION. What phantoms of the past in mystery sleep, Till memory (warder of the gloom profound) Wake at a sight, an odour, or a sound. And call the long-forgotten from the deep To soothe us or to sting : then sinners reap The harvest of their guilt : what cries astound. What furies and what fiends environ round Their death-bed anguish : grief that cannot weep^ Remorse that dare not hope. But how divine The pledge of immortality, when bright The lamp of conscience burns..., and heavenly balm And heavenly vision gladden the decline Of age with images of rest and calm. The better Canaan's realm, the Solyma of light. TO INVERAKY. 147 XVIII. How lovely in Italian clime the fall Of eve, when twilight glimmering' in the west Lets not a breeze disturb the' aerial hall. While solitude and peace and gloom invest The landscape, vocal to the goatherd's call. Or blackbird piping in his bower of rest, And from afar the quail* is heard to pay The tribute of her moan to the departing day.
