BY R. M. WALSH.

———

Thou, whose true name the world doth yet not know,

Mysterious spirit, mortal, angel, fiend,

Whate’er thou art, oh! Byron, still I love

Thy concerts’ savage harmony, ev’n as

I love the noise of thunder and of winds

Commingling in the storm with torrents’ voice!

Night is thy dwelling, horror thy domain;

The eagle, king of deserts, thus doth scorn
