     Pray�察�lady�察�that the sad�察�soul´searing blight�察             �Which comes upon us 

when we tread the ways Of sin�察�may not be suffered to alight                        On thy 

pure spirit in its youthful days�察�Or like the fruitage of the Dead Sea shore�察�

Tho'   outward   bloom   and   freshness   thou   may'st   be�察  �Stern   bitterness   and 

death will gnaw thy core�察            �And thou wilt be a heart´scathed thing like 

me�察  �Bearing   the   weight   of   many   years�察  �ere   thou   Hast   lost   youth's   rosy 

cheek and lineless brow。 

       IMPROMPTU�察�On The Reception Of A Letter。 

     I would love to have thee near me�察              �But when I think how drear Is 

each hope that used to cheer me�察            �I cease to wish thee here。 

     I know that thou�察�wouldst not shrink from                The storms that burst on 

me�察�But the bitter chalice I drink from�察            �I will not pass to thee。 

     I   would   share   the   world   with   thee�察  �were   it  With   all   its   pleasures 

mine�察�But the sorrows which I inherit�察             �I never will make thine� �

       THE OLD MAN AND THE BOY。 



     ;Glenara�察�Glenara�察�now read me my dream。; Campbell。 

     Father�察  �I  have   dreamed     a  dream�察     �When      the  rosy   morning    hour 

Poured its light on field and stream�察         �Kindling nature with its pow'r�察�

     O'er the meadow's dewy breast�察            �I had chased a butterfly�察�Tempted 

by its gaudy vest�察      �Still my vain pursuit to ply�察�

     Till my limbs were weary grown�察              �With the distance I had strayed�察�

Then to rest I laid me down�察         �Where a beech tree cast its shade�察�

     Soon a heaviness came o'er me�察            �And a deep sleep sealed my eyes�察�

And a vision past before me�察          �Full of changing phantasies。 

     First I stood beside a bower�察        �Green as summer bow'r could be�察�Vine 

and fruit�察�and leaf and flower�察        �Mixed to weave its canopy。 

     And   within   reclined   a   form�察   �As   embodied   moonlight   fair�察 �With   a 

soft cheek�察�fresh and warm�察          �Deep blue eye and sunny hair。 

     By her side a  goblet stood�察         �Such as   bacchanalians brim�察�High   the 

rich grape's crimson blood�察         �Sparkled o'er its gilded rim。 

     As   I   gazed�察  �she   bowed   her   head�察  �With   a   gay   and   graceful   move�察�

And in words of music said�察           �Drink�察�and learn the lore of love� ─�

     Next I stood beside a mountain�察           �Of majestic form and height�察�Cliff 

and crag�察�and glen and fountain�察          �Mingled to make up its might。 

     On   its   lofty   brow   were   growing    Flowers   never   chilled   by   gloom�察�

For the sky above them glowing�察            �Dyed them with a deathless bloom。 

     And I saw the crystal dome�察          �Wondrous in its majesty�察�Where earth's 

great ones find a home�察         �When their spirits are set free。 

     By   its   portals�察  �I   espied One   who   kept   the   courts   within�察  �High   he 

waved a wreath and cried�察           �Come up hither��strive and win� ─�

     Then my  vision   changed again�此          �In   a   fairy´coloured shell�察  �O'er   the 

wide sea's pathless plain�察       �I was speeding�察�fast and well。 

     Suddenly�察�beneath its prow�察         �Parted were the azure waves�察�And I saw 

where�察�far below�察       �Yawn the vast deep's secret caves。

     Where the Syren sings her song�察           �To old Ocean's sons and daughters�察�

And the mermaids dance along�察             �To the music of the waters。 

     Where the coral forest o'er�察        �Storm or tempest ne'er is driven And the 

gems that strew its floor�察        �Sparkle like the stars in heaven。 

     Treasures�察  �such   as   never   eye    Of   the   earth   has   looked   upon�察  �Gold 

and pearls of many a dye�察          �There in rich profusion shone。 

     And a voice came to my ear�察            �Saying�察�in a stern�察�cold tone�察�Such as 

chills the heart with fear�察        �Seize and make the prize thine own。; 

     Then across a clouded wild�察          �Lone and drear and desolate�察�Where no 

cheerful cottage smiled�察         �I pursued the steps of fate。 

     Ever bearing   in   my breast�察       �Thoughts   almost to   madness   wrought�察�

Ever�察�ever seeking rest�察        �Never finding what I Sought 

     Till I gave my wanderings o'er�察          �By a black and icy stream�察�Deep I 

plunged and knew no more�此            �Father�察�read me now my dream。 

     The    old   man   bowed     his  head�察   �And   pressed    his  thin   hand   to  his 

withered brow�察�As if he struggled with some rising thought Which should 

have kept its place in memory's urn Till he had cast the shadow from his 

soul�察�Which for a while had bound it in a spell Born of the bygone years�察�

then thus he spoke�此�

     Now listen�察�boy�察�and I will show to thee            The import of thy vision��I 

will tell Thee what its scenes and shapes of mystery                Foreshadow of the 

future��for full well I know the wizard lore�察�whose witchery                 Binds e'en 

the    time   to  come    in  its  wild   spell�   �And    from    approaching     years   a 

knowledge wrings Of what they bear upon their viewless wings。 

     Along life's weary way of   pain and care�察             �From earliest infancy  to 

eldest   age�察  �Forms�察  �viewless   as   the   soft´breathed   summer   air�察      �Attend 

man's footsteps in his pilgrimage�察�And if his destiny be dark or fair�察                  �If 

Pleasure gilds�察�or Sorrow blots the page Whereon is traced his history�察�still 

his ear Will ever catch their warning voices near。 

     And theythose guardian ones�察�who�察�while thy sleep                 Hung o'er thee 

like a curtain�察�came around And fanned thee till thy slumber grew more 

deep�察     �Flung   o'er   thy   rest�察  �so   perfect   and   profound�察�A  dream   whose 

mem'ry thou sbouldst ever keep             Bound to thy spirit�察�for altho' it wound�察�

Thy young heart now�察�perchance�察�in after years�察                 �'Twill save thee much 

of toil�察�and many tears。 

     It   was   a   dream   of   life�此  �of   boyhood's   strong   And   soul´consuming 

yearnings after love� �His eager search to find�察�amid the throng�察                     �Some 

heart to give him thought for thoughtto move And mingle with his own�察�

dearest joy to care´cursed mortals given�察�The one with least of earth�察�and 

most of heaven 

     Of manhood's ceaseless strivings after fame�察               �The veriest phantom 

of   all   phantasies   For   which   he   wields   the   sword�察  �or   lights   the   flame 

Whose   red   glare   mocks   a   nation's   agonies�察  �Or   by   his   star´outwatching 

taper�察�plies      His pen or pencil�察�to gainwhat�拭�a name�察�A passing sound

     And of a later period�察�when the soul              Forsakes its high resolves and 

wild desires�察�When stern Ambition can no more control�察                    �And Love has 

shrouded   o'er   its   smothered   fires�察  �When   Expectation   ceases   to   console�察�

And Hope�察�the last kind comforter�察�expires�察�And Avarice�察�monster of the 

gilded vest�察�Creeps in and occupies the vacant breast。 

     And then the last sad scene�此�The sick heart�察�sore                And fainting from 

its   woundsthe   palsied   limb   The   brow   whose   death´sweat   peeps   from

withered�察    �wan    cheek�察   �that   shall   bloom    no   more       The     last  dregs

              ACLE AT THE GRAYE OF 

                                    NERO。 



     It   is   a   circumstance   connected   with   the   history   of   Nero�察  �that   every 

spring   and   summer�察  �for   many   years   after   his   death�察  �fresh   and   beautiful 

flowers were nightly scattered upon his grave by some unknown hand。 

     Tradition   relates    that  it  was  done   by   a  young    maiden    of  Corinth�察�

named      Acle�察  �whom   Nero     had   brought    to  Rome    from   her   native   city�察�

whither he had gone in the disguise of an artist�察�to contend in the Nemean�察�

Isthinian�察  �and   Floral   games�察  �celebrated   there�察  �and   whence   he   returned 

conqueror in the Palaestra�察�the chariot race�察�and the song�察�bearing with him�察�

like Jason of old�察�a second Medea�察�divine in form and feature as the first�察�

and who like her had left father�察�friends�察�and country�察�to follow a stranger。 

     Even the worse than savage barbarity of this sanguinary tyrant�察�had not 

cut him off from all human affection�察�and those flowers were doubtless the 

tribute of that young girl's holy and enduring love� �

     Whose name is on yon lettered stone�拭�whose ashes rest beneath�拭�That 

thus   you   come   with   flowers   to   deck   the   mournful   home   of   death�察  �And 

thouwhy   darkens   so   thy   brow   with   grief's   untimely   gloom�拭  �Thou   art 

fitter for a bride than for a watcher by the tomb� �

     ;It   is   the   name   of   one   whose   deeds   made   men   grow   pale   with   fear�察�

And Nero's�察�stranger�察�is the dust that lies sepulchred here�察�That name may
