Excerpt from Poems of Sixty-Five Years
Dear Reader! if my verse could say
How in my blood that Nature runs
Which manifesteth no decay -
The fire that lights a thousand suns;
How thou and I are freely lent
A little of that element:
If I could say what landscape says,
And human pictures say far more -
If I could twine the sunny days
With the rich colors on the floor
Of daily Love - how thou and I
Might be refreshed with charity!
How grateful is the softened smile
Of winter sunset o"er the snow!
And blessed is our spheral isle
That through the unknown void must go;
The current of that stream is sweet
Where many waters closely meet.
