Another neighbor (William W. Polk) gave an extended sketch of Mr. Taylor’s career, and another neighbor (Edward Swayne) contributed the second poem, opening with,—

“On the margin of the Spree

Rests his body, is it he?

Is it all? or only part?

Questions still my doubting heart.

Traveller! in what realm, elate,

Dost thou read the book of fate?

Poet! in what finer mood

Singest thou infinitude?

Dost thou know the path we tend?
