above�察 �Gazed down with chastened looks of love�察 �Not�察 �as when first
they hymned her birth�察�With ardent songs of holy mirth�察�But mournfully
serene and clear�察 �As on some erring one we gaze�察 �Whose feet have
strayed from wisdom's ways�察�But who�察�in error�察�still is dear。 Far o'er yon
swiftly flowing stream Fair fell the young moon's silver beam�察�And gazing
on its restless sheen�察�Stood one whose garb�察�and port�察�and mien�察�Bespoke
him of a foreign land�察�One born to win�察�and hold command�察�The master
mind�察�the leading one�察�Where deeds of manly might were done。 Yet�察�by the
hallowed glow�察�that came O'er lip and cheek�察�o'er eye and brow�察 �He
who beheld�察 �might guess that now His thoughts were not of wealth and
fame�此 �Whence could that veiling radiance shine�察 �Save from Affection's
holy shrine�拭�And this was he�察�who from afar�察 �Had come to bear away
his bride�察 �And love had been the guiding star�察 �That lit him o'er the
trackless tide�察 �To´morrow�察�on its sunny wing�察�My bridal hour soon shall
bring�察�And those bright orbs which o'er me shed Such gentle radiance
from on high�察�Shall shine upon my nuptial bed�察 �When next they walk
along the sky。 0� �what are all the pomps of earth�察 �Of honour�察 �glory�察�
greatness�察�worth�察�Beside the bliss which Love confers Upon his humblest
followers� ─�He said�察�and from the river turned�察�An eye�察�that with fierce

hatred burned�察 �Met his�察 �and this reply was made�此 �Thou�察 �haughty one�察�
shalt be a shade Ere dawns the coming morrow's sun。; Then�察�ere the point
he could evade�察 �He felt the sharp steel pierce his breast�察�While he�察�who
the foul deed had done Stood calmly by�察�and saw him sink In death�察�beside
the water's brink�察 �Saw�察 �gush by gush�察 �the crimson blood Pour out�察 �and
mingle with the flood�察 �Then drew his dagger from its rest�察�And gazing
on its fearful hue�察 �Said�察 �Thou hast yet one task to do。 He who�察 �death´
wounded�察�welters there�察�Came hither�察�o'er the deep to bear Far off from
her paternal nest�察 �The white dove I have watched so long。 The falcon's
wing was bold and strong�察�Yet thou hast stayed him in his flight�察 �Strike
one more blow�察�and thou to´night May'st rest�察─�then laid his bosom bare�察�
And buried deep the dagger there�察 �And by his victim's lifeless trunk�察�
Without a sigh or groan he sunk。
Canto III。
I。
With plumes to which the dewdrops cling�察�Wide waves the morn her
golden wing�察 �With countless variegated beams The empurpled orient
glows and gleams�察�A gorgeous mass of crimson clouds The mountain's
soaring summit shrouds�察 �Along the wave the blue mist creeps�察 �The
towering forest trees are stirred By the low wind that o'er them sweeps�察�
And with the matin song of bird�察 �The hum of early bee is heard�察�
Hailing with his shrill�察 �tiny horn�察 �The coming of the bright´eyed morn�察�
And�察 �with the day´beam's earliest dawn�察 �Her couch the fair Mazelli
quits�察�And gaily�察�fleetly as a fawn�察 �Along the wildwood paths she flits�察�
Hieing from leafy bower to bower�察�Culling from each its bud and flower�察�
Of brightest hue and sweetest breath�察�To weave them in her bridal wreath。
Now�察 �pausing in her way�察 �to hear The lay of some wild warbler near�察�
Repaying him�察�in mocking tone�察�With music sweeter than his own�察�Now�察�
o'er some crystal stream low bending�察 �Her image in its waves to see�察�
With its sweet�察�gurgled music blending�察 �A song of tenfold melody�察�Now�察�
chasing the gay butterfly�察�That o'er her pathway passed her by�察�With grace

as careless�察�glee as wild�察�As though she were some thoughtless child�察�Now�察�
seated on some wayside stone�察�With time's green�察�messy veil o'ergrown�察�In
silent thoughtfulness�察 �she seems To hold communion with her heart�察�
Beguiling fancy with the dreams That from its Pure recesses start。
II。
There is a silent power�察�that o'er Our bosoms wields a wizard might�察�
Restoring bygone years to light�察�With the same vivid glow they wore�察�Ere
time had o'er their features cast The shadowy shroud that veils the past�此�
To those who walk in wisdom's way�察 �'Tis welcome as an angel's smile�察�
But those who from her counsels stray�察 �Whose hearts are full of craft
and guile�察�To them 'tis as a constant goad A weight that doubles Sorrow's
load�察�A silent searcher of the breast�察�Which will not let the guilty rest。 In
childhood's pleasant ´season born�察 �It haunts us in all after time�察�From
youth's serene and sunny morn To manhood's stern meridian prime。
From manhood�察�till the weight of years�察�And life's dull constant toil�察�and
tears�察�And passion's ever raging storm�察�Have dimmed the eye and bowed
the form。 True�察�youth�察�of hope and love possessed�察�By friendsyouth has
no foescaressed�察 �Finds in the presenthappy boy� �Enough of gaiety
and joy�察�And man�察�whose visionary brain Begets that idle phantom train
Of shadowsPower�察 �Wealth�察 �and Fame�察 �A scourgea bubbleand a
name So often and so vainly sought Has little time for peaceful thought�察�
And so they turn not back to gaze�察�Where faithful memory displays Her
record of departed days�察�But oh� �how loves the eye of age�察�To move along
its pictured page�察 �To scan and number�察 �o'er and o'er�察 �The joys that may
return no more�察 �The hopes that�察 �blighted in their bloom�察 �By
disappointment's chilly gloom�察�Were given sadly to the tomb�察�The loves so
wildly once enjoyed�察 �By time's unsparing hand destroyed�察 �The bright
imaginative dreams�察 �Portrayed by restless fancy's beams�察 �By restless
fancy's beams portrayed�察�Alas� �but to delude and fade� �To count these o'er
and o'er again Is age's sole resort from pain。 Then�察 �stranger�察 �marvel not
that I Have claimed so long thy listening ear�察�I could not pass in silence

by Themes to my memory so dear�察�As those which make my story's
close Mazelli's love�察�Mazelli's woes。
III。
Ascending from the golden east�察�The sun had gained his zenith height�察�
The guests were gathered to the feast�察�Prepared to grace the marriage rite�察�
The youthful and the old were there�察 �The rustic swain and bashful fair�察�
The aged�察�reverend and gray�察�Yet hale�察�and garrulous�察�and gay�察�Each told�察�
to while the time away�察�Some tale of his own wedding day�察�The youthful�察�
timorous and shy�察�Spoke less with lip than tell´tale eye�察�That�察�in its stolen
glances�察�sends The language Love best�察�comprehends。 The noontide hour
goes by�察 �and yet The bridegroom tarrieswhy�拭 �and where�拭 �Sure he
could not his vows forget�察 �When she who loves him is so fair� �And then
his honour�察�faith�察�and pride�察�Had bound him to a meaner bride�察 �If once
his promise had been given�察 �But she�察 �so pure�察 �so far above The
common forms of earthly mould�察 �So like the incarnate shapes of love�察�
Conceived�察�and born�察�and nursed in heaven�察 �His love for her could ne'er
grow cold� �And yet he comes not。 Half way now�察 �From where�察�at his
meridian height�察 �He pours his fullest�察�warmest light�察�To where�察�at eve�察�
in his decline�察�The day´god sinks into the brine�察�When his diurnal task is
done�察�Descends his ever burning throne�察�And still the bridegroom is not�察�
there Say�察�why yet tarries he�察�and where�拭�
IV。
Within an arbour�察�rudely reared�察�But to the maiden's heart endeared By
every tie that binds the heart�察�By hope's�察�and love's�察�and memory's art�察�
For it was here he first poured out In words�察�the love she could not doubt�察�
´ Mazelli silent sits apart。 Did ever dreaming devotee�察 �Whose restless
fancy�察 �fond and warm�察 �Shapes out the bright ideal form To which he
meekly bends the knee�察 �Conceive of aught so fair as she�拭 �The holiest
seraph of the sphere Most holy�察�if by chance led here�察 �Might drink such
light from those soft eyes�察�That he would hold them far more dear Than
all the treasures of the skies。 Yet o'er her bright and beauteous brow Shade

Mazelli�察�and Other Poems
after shade is passing now�察�Like clouds across the pale moon glancing�察�As
thought on rapid thought advancing�察 �Thrills through the maiden's
trembling breast�察 �Not doubting�察 �and yet not at rest。 Not doubting� �Man
may turn away And scoff at shrines�察�where yesterday He knelt�察�in earnest
faith�察�to pray�察�And wealth may lose its charm for him�察�A
