Though the wilds of enchantment all vernal and bright, In the days of delusion by fancy combined With the vanishing phantoms of love and delight, Abandon my soul, like a dream of the night, And leave but a desert behind, Be hush'd my dark spirit, for Wisdom condemns When the faint and the feeble deplore; Be strong as the rock of the ocean that stems A thousand wild waves on the shore.
May England never halt in raising such monuments of her real greatness! I've stood to gaze on the sunset hill, When the winds were hush'd and the waves were still; As the sun sank slowly down the west, I thought of the good man dropping to rest, When his race is run he yields his breath, And softly sinks in the slumber of death.
Thou comest on thy silver winglets, From thy home in the tender west, Now fanning her golden ringlets, Now hush'd on her heaving breast. And afar on the murmuring sand, The Seasons wait hand in hand To welcome thee, Birth Divine, To the earth which is henceforth thine. Behold! how she kneels in the shell, Bright pearl in its floating cell!
Her sweet voice hush'd within the silent grave, While o'er her dust the weeping willows wave. Dead! dead! You call her dead! And yet she lives, and loves! Oh, wondrous truth! In golden skies she breathes immortal youth! Look upward! where the roseate sunset beams, Her airy form amid the brightness gleams! Dead! dead! You call her dead!
For ours was not like earthly love. And must this parting be our very last? No! I shall love thee still when death itself is past. ......

Ah, heart! where once each fond affection dwelt. "I wonder," said Mr.

The deeds of our sires if our bards should rehearse, Let a blush or a blow be the meed of their verse! Be mute every string, and be hush'd every tone, That shall bid us remember the fame that is flown.
Creation smiles around; on every spray The warbling birds exalt their evening lay: Blithe skipping o'er you hill, the fleecy train Join the deep chorus of the lowing plain: The glassy ocean hush'd forgets to roar, But trembling murmurs on the sandy shore.
No angel-bright guardians watch'd over its birth, Ere yet it was suffer'd to roam upon earth; No spirits of gladness its soft form caress'd; SIGHS mourned round its cradle, and hush'd it to rest. Though JOY might endeavour, with kisses and wiles, To lure it away to his household of smiles: From the daylight he lived in it turn'd in affright, To nestle with SORROW in climates of night.
The storm is o'er; the tempest past; And Mercy's voice has hush'd the blast, The wind is heard in whispers low; The White Man far away must go; But ever in his heart will bear Remembrance of the Negro's care.
