Fade, ye wild flowers, memorials of my doom, And sink, ye stars, that light me to the tomb ! Truth, ever lovely — ^since the world began, The foe of tyrants, and the friend of man,— How. can thy words from balifiy slumber start^ Reposing Virtue, pillow'd on the heart ! Yet, if thy voice the note of thunder roll'd, And that were true which Natsre never told, Digitized by Google d by Google Digitized by Google vtiAsuBxa OP HOFi^ 75 Let Wisdom smile not an het conquered Efild ; No rapture dwnB, no... treasure U reveal'd I Oh ! let her read, Rof loudly, nor elate, The doom that bars us from a better fate; But, sad as angela for the goad man's sm, Weep to record, and blush to giro it in ! And well may Doubt, the mother of Dismay, Pause at her martyr's tomb, and read the lay. Down by the wilds of yon deserted vale, It darkly hints a melancholy tale J There, as the homeless madman »ts alone, In hollow winds he hears a spirit moan I And there, they say, a wizard orgie crowds, When the Moon lights her watch-tower in the clouds.
