Thus hallow’d by the memory of the dead:

Alone in beauty and renown—a scene

Whose tints are drawn from freedom’s loveliest ray.

’Tis but a vision now—yet thou hast been

More than the brightest vision might portray;

And every stone, with but a vestige fraught

Of thee, hath latent power to wake some lofty thought.

LXXXI.

Fall’n are thy fabrics, that so oft have rung

To choral melodies and tragic lore;
