And features chasten’d in the tears of woe,

In sooth, ’twas merely sad to see him so!

A wreck of nature floating far and fast,

Upon the stream of Time—to sink at last!

And he is wandering by the shore again,

Hard leaning on his staff; the azure main

Lies sleeping far before him, with his seas

Fast folded in the bosom of the breeze,

That like the angel Peace, hath dropt his wings

Around the warring waters. Sadly sings
