And the dew on the grass and his own cold tears
Were one in brooding mystery,
Though death's loud thunder came upon him,
Though death's loud thunder struck him down--
The boughs and the proud
thoughts
swept through the thunder,
Till he saw our wide nation, each State a flower,
Each petal a park for holy feet,
With wild fawns merry on every street,
With wild fawns merry on every street,
The vista of ten thousand years, flower-lighted and complete.

Still shalt thou type the poet-soul sublime
That leads the vanward of his timid time
And sings up cowards with commanding rhyme --
Soul calm, like thee, yet fain, like thee, to grow
By double increment, above, below;
Soul homely, as thou art, yet rich in grace like thee,
Teaching

Soul filled like thy long veins with sweetness tense,

Trembling
westward
o'er yon balking sea,
Hearts within `Farewell dear England' sighing,
Winds without `But dear in vain' replying,
Gray-lipp'd waves about thee shouted, crying
"No!

From my books

For the rare and radiant maiden whom the angels name Lenore--
Nameless here for evermore.

turn'd nun, if it had not been for a hot
midsummer

chroniclers of that age found it was- Hero of Sestos.

Rejoice: forever you'll be
The Princess of Founts to me,
Singing your issuing
From broken stone, a force,
That, as a
gurgling
spring,
Bring water from your source,
An endless dancing thing.
