Two peaks I saw: one eminent in light ; The other shrouded by the shadow thrown From his great brother's bosom on his own. They stood, as Life to Death or Day to Night Opposed. Descending from their common height The mountain rivulet clasped with gentle moan A funeral vault in vernal bravery dight — Through the dim arch a low faint breeze was blown : Not fainter through his murderer's hair unshaken Breathed soft the sleeping King ! Sad odours blended With that faint breeze : poppies on high sus...pended Their dark lamps fed as with Elysian oil : While bees low-murmured, like the whispering coil Bound the sick bed of one men fear to waken ! Digitized by VjOOQIC Sonnet ioritten at tj^e Somi of Slgamemnon. 3. *' Ah, fair Briseis ! that long, backward gaze On thy Love thrown so silently, was vain : Ah, sad Cassandra! little didst thou gain, Spelling the terror of the future days. Foresight is woe foretasted: Sight betrays: That which we touch is ours : and to retain That little (so man's life Disaster sways) Were hard as water in the palm to strain — The Fates do mock us." — King of Men !
