Full desertness In souls as countries, lieth silent-bare Under the blanching, vertical eye-glare Of the absolute Heavens. Deep-hearted man ! express Grief for thy Dead in silence like to death,— Most like a monumental statue set In everlasting watch and moveless woe, Till itself crumble to the dust beneath.

20 ページ - Since Adam forfeited the primal lot. Tears ! what are tears ? The babe weeps in its cot, The mother singing, — at her marriage-bell The bride weeps, — and before the oracle Of high-faned hills, the poet has forgot Such moisture on his cheeks. Thank God for grace...
