From crushed affections, which, though long o'erborne,

Make their tones heard at last.

I bring them from the tomb!

O'er the sad couch of late repentant love

They pass—though low as murmurs of a dove—

Like trumpets through the gloom.

I come with all my train;

Who calls me lonely? Hosts around me tread,

The intensely bright, the beautiful, the dead,

Phantoms of heart and brain.
