And a name and fame above the blight Of earthly breath. Beautiful — beautiful and bright, In life and death ! A song for the death-day of the brave- A song of pride ! For him that went to a hero's grave, With the Sword, his bride ! • On readini; part of a letter from Korner's father, address- ed to Mr. Riclmrdsijii, tlin transliuor of liis worlcs, in which he speaks of "The dealli-day of his son." i See tiio Svvord-sonp;, composed on ihc morning of his deatli. INVOCATION. Hushed is the world in... night and sleep, Earth, Sea, and Air, are still as death ; Too rude to break a culm so deep. Were music's faintest breath. Descend, bright Visions ! from aerial bowers, Descend to gild your own soft, silent hours. In hope or fear, in toil or pain. The weary day have mortals past. Now, dreams of bliss, be yours to reign, And all your spells around them cast; Steal from their liearts the pang, their eyes the tear And lift tiic veil that hides a brighter sphero, MISCELLANEOUS POEMS. 291 Oh ! bear your softest balm to those, Who fondly, vainly, mourn the dead, To them that world of peace disclose, Where the bright soul is fled : Where Love, immortal in his native clime, Shall fear no pang from fate, no blight from time.
