THE LOST ISLAND. ■ I. Silent and lonely, in the summer-night, Lay the groat city. Tlirough the marble streets No footstep moved : the pahices, the seats Of wealth and power, the domes of malachite, Where scnl])tured dragons, monsters carved in stone, Alternated with statues clear and white. Of ancient warrior-kings, that stood in rows Along tJie Cyclopean porticoes. Were hushed : and over all the moonlight shone. %j) Along the beach, beneath the massy wall, The great sea rippled drowsily : afar The headland glimmered, like a misty star, Wearing a cloud wreath for a coronal ; And all the air was tilled with tremulous sighs Borne from the waste of waters, musical, Yet dreamy soft, as some old Orphic hymn, That floated up, what time the day grow dim, From Dorian groves, and forest privacies. — C — in. Yet, in Iho voicelesH silence of the hour, An awful ])i-osencv moved. Unseen, unheard, ll glided onward on its way, and stirred The sleepers' hearts with dreams of irloomy power. Visions of fear, and thr<»hhiti,i;'s ol' despair. The plague was here. There was no house or hower. Safe from his darts : from every door had gone Some friend or father, some heloved one, Borne to his grave by the red torches' glare. «w IV. And, as a lovely flower, that soom.s to fade In .summer's heal, and hows ils golden head. Turning from those fierce heavens overspread, To muse, in sadness, (^n some dew}' glade. — So, many a maiden perished, while and still, And many a soft angel ie face that made The sunshine of its home, grown cold and gray Beneath the coming shadow, passed away; So warm of late, now passionless and chill. V. Alas ! the little children .-—where was now Their laughter, manj voiced ?— their sportive wiles, Their hounding feet, and witchery of smiles. With floating hair, and faces all iiglow ? Silence and fear into their play had come. Dulling each pulse and shadowing each brow; And so they wept and wondered. Side by side, Lay young and old, the bridegroom and his bride, The child and sage, all summoned to one tomb, I 1- 8n I'OM', at tinu's, tliroii^h all tli(> moonlit iiir. Faint and scarce lieard. lijcc voices in a dream, Low wailitii,^ sounds, tliut told of ^rief sn|iremo, The ultei'aiice ol mouiMuu's ^^atiiored there. Almost it seemed that every .star which set Was as u wint,fed messei)L,'ei', lo hear Some human lilo to those unloved ahodes, Where dwell, implacahlo, the lowei" i^ods, Silent as .stone, stern eyed, with locks ol'jet. VII. Fast waned the ni<;ht, yet, (}vo the morning ciimo, The portals of the )):dace opened wide, I'he scul])lure(l valves Ml hack on either sitle, The lamps within Ikished forth a sudden tlamo ; And swift, into the dim uncertain light, Which neither nin'lit nor da}- min-ht wholly (daim. There step|)ed ii li^-ure of heroie mien, Fair as a i!;o(ldes8, .stately and sei-eno, A star-lik'e aj)))arition, pure and wiiite. VIIT. Thi.s was the island queen, Evanoo ; All unattondod, save by one stout thrall, Who followed humbly, at some interval. With noiseless foot she trod the marble way. So passed she on, towards the open lea That girt tlie town. In shadowy array, The ))alm-trees, on her right hand, lifted high Their crests, clear cut against the opal sky, And, on her left, she hoard the murmuring sea, — M IX.

X. There dwelt her a,«rcd nurse, now breathing slow Her life away. With hand upon the latcli, The youthful queen a moment |)aused, to watch The splendor of the morning, and the glow That, deepened in the Kasl. Across the bay, She saw the hill-tops kindling, while, below, The valleys lay in darkness. One by one. The small clouds caught the flame: and lo! the sun Leaped as u giant forth, and it was day. XI. With throbbing heart she stood, and thoughtful brow Thon sighed " xilas ! why, in a world so fair, " Must death have place ? Oii balmy summer air, " Sunshine and clouds, mountains and sea, and thou, " Illimitable dome of iieaven above, " Phantoms of beauty, ever fresh as now, " lioceivo my gi-eoting ! Changeless as of old, " Ye still remain, when life and love are cold, " And the web rent, which youth so fondly wove. " [) — i xrr.

Thi'oiin-li tho liaU'o|»('niMl casemotit floated in Tlio peil'iime ol' rare flowor.s : a lily crci)! Along tho sill, in droopir)^ sympathy ; Tho while a honoy-heo went lunnmin,"- by, And faintly cumo from fur tho city's din.

Then, with a mighty elfoi-t (.f strong will, She laid her hand, most gently, on the head Of two fair children, kneeling by her bed, With mute, appealing gaze ; it was her last. XIV. So all was done. Still shone the sun abroad ; And bird and insect, butterfly and flower, Basked in tho glorious splendor of the hour; Si ill, through the air, like footsteps of a god. iMurmured the low soft wind, and all was bright No shadow fell on these, nor were they awed. When, through their midst, a naked human soul Passed, like an exhalation, to its goal ; A bubble rising to tho Ir. finite. — 10 — XV.

She heard : she trembled : and her heart beat hi^rh Aniazed with thuugbts conflicting; yet she .stood ' Calm and unfearing in her lion mood, Fronting all chances with unriuaili.g'eye. Eound her the shadows deepened : then, at last, She woke from .stupor, and beheld the sky All wild above and threatening, and the star.s Fast blotted out by gathering cloudy bars, And heard the hollow moaning of the blast. t) - 13 — XXIV. All ni,<,'lit tlie lompest nin-ed. Adowii the street, With tliuiider-call tlic mad winds raved amain :' Day dawned in gloom, and wont, and eamo again, And still the .storm-winds, I'urions and llect, Coursed on, above: and sun and stars were dead. Then came a change. Again with silver feet. The moonlight came, and Icissed each bruised flower And moi-ning came, and all the healing power Of freshened airs, and sunshine overhead. XXV. So, like a nightmare vision, passed away The pestilence, and all its gloomy shows. The fourth day came to end : in hushed repose, The golden gloaming faded into gray, Gleaming with stars: and shadows vespertine Filled all the room where sat Evanoo. Then came again the god. As some strong spell. She felt ills presence, murmuring " it is well : " My people live,— are saved ;— and I— am thine ( " XXVI. Oh joy ! oh happiness ! In life's wide waste, Are tiiere not days whose memory remains ' As of an oasis in desert plains ; A reminisconco not to be effaced Throughout all griefs and all the aftcr-time ? Still, through the gloom, it shines; a pharos, placed On that far line of youth's enohanted shore, Where lived we, in the golden days of yore' When life was new, and all things in their prime. 14- XXVII. And thoy were hap)>y through long sunny yoar8, Tho i.shindqucon and Sanadon. They moved In a rich atmo.spherc of light, and roved Throughout their realm, like those united .spheres, That walk in pairs along the starry sky, What time the vault of heaven unveiled' appears. And those two children, once their grandame's care, Kiridion and Thya, grew up fair. And strong, and graced with gentle courtesy. XXVIIi. Joyous as summer-birds, they wandered oft Through regions wild and full of loveliness, Through lonely places, where the hum and'stress Of cities came not, and the air was soft With balmy odors of sweet-scented pines ; Where, in clear blue, the white clouds sailed aloft, And streams flowed on through plains, or leaped in falls From rock to rock, in broken intervals. Bordered with lotus-blooms, and leafy vines. XXIX. Sometimes they wont inland, and visited The mountain-solitudes and privacies, Wherein the island waters had their rise : And taking, thus, some river at its head, Thoy drifted doAvnwards on its placid stream, Passing by caverns dark, and full of dread, By headlands frowning vast, and flowery sward, By golden sands, and beds of odorous nard. And banyan groves, all wondrous as a dream. 1 I -15 — XXX. Then, borno aloft in his uorial cui-, The Marut brou<--hL tiiom over sou and land, Towards the i-ising sun, bcycnil the strand Of lar Iberia. Shining liico a star, Old vEtna raised aloft his crown of snow ■ But they passed onward, o'er the sanily bar Of rocky Salniydessus, while with foam, And traversed so the Kuxine, near the home Of Scythians, and the broad Araxes' flow. XXXI. Far to the North they saw the boundless plain, Where roved the mammoths ; where, in dusky' bands, Innumerable as the ocean sands, They wandered, with wliito tusks and shaggy mane, Hugest of living beasts that looked on man. So came they to a rugged mountain chain, Gloomy and dark, a wilderness forlorn, So vvild, it seemed the world's extremest borne, Withered and grey with some unending ban. XXXII. Then, with a sudden, himentable cry. Thya exclaimed, '' Oh father, oh my lord, '^ Wliat awful shape hangs there, with brow all scored " As if with flame of lightning from on high, * " Yet unsubdued, and wearing as a king " The garment of his silent agony ? " To whom the Marut: •' this is Themis' son, " The Titan, who, for love to mortals shewn, ♦' Is doomed, by Zeus, to penal suffering." — 16 — XXXTIT. " (Jo, aid him, if thoii wilt. Those arc, to nic, " An alien race, and alien deities : ^" liut tii„u, sweet Thyu,-thei-o ean he, than thi^ " No taslc 01- oiliee moi-e befitting thee." So went she, at the word, witli hasty feet, To some riivine hard by, whore spark-led Iroo A tiny fount of water, icy cold, And took a hollow shell, therein to hold The precious drau-ht, than Amrita more sweet. XXXIV. With fearless heart, thoui,Hi hesitating gait. Low bending iti Jior eai-nest sympathy,'' She stood before the Shape, and raised 'on high The prottercd cup, with eyes compassionate, And touched his lip.s, with words of loving cheer : And the great Suffei-er felt his pangs abate, And looked on her with wondering, as one' To whom all kindness hath been long unknown, And dropped, amazed, a solitary tear. XXXV. Then o'er the wilderness a shadow passed. With sounds of spirit-wailing, soft and low. From rock and valley, from the ground below, From dark abysmal rifts, and spaces vast, From mossy stone, and shrub, and lonely 'tree Came hollow murmurings; "Oh thou, who hast II So much loved man and all created things, " Thou who hast given us hoavon-aspiring vvin'^s *' Prometheus ! Soul of love I We weep with th'ee'l " f 17- XXXVI. Silent i„ thought, ihe four hold on their way Through .sandy wastes, past Sindhu's rapid stream : l.ll rose, among the hills, the distar.t gleam Of Manasa : and hero they made their stay It was a lake secluded, in deep calm From worldly tumult, and the troublous day. Where peace unbroken reigned : so still and cool Here might repose the heart with anguish full ' And every sorrow hero might find its balm. ' XXXVII. At length refreshed with welcome rest, they rose Crossing the Hima mountains, homo of ^now ' rhe stony g.rdle of the world, and so i-ntered on Aryavai-tha's sacred close Land of the marvellous ! Hero, being's tide Swept on exultant, through the long repose Ut silent centuries : and glowin^r life Came forth, with thousand form*^ of beauty rife On flowory plain and shady mountain-side. ' XXXVIII So came they to a dwelling in the wild. Where weeping tilled the house : " bec'iuse todn. " They said, .^ a Daitya comes to bear :;:;;' '""'^'^ A victim from us. Shall it be our child. That we must give ? The mother, or th^ sire v J One must we offer, else, unreconciled. He will not leave us. Oh, unhappy fnte I " So mourned the simple folk, discoi^oC Lamenting Joud, in mingled grief and ir'e. — 18 — XXXIX. Tlio father spoko out tlion : " Mo let him li.kc ; " Lo, I am okl : ilie earth no more to me " Bl•in^^s fresh deli^^ht, us onco : the Howery lea, " Siuisliiiie, and music, ami sweet sinn-inir^ wake " No answering echo in my spii'ii now ; " The groat gods smile on (jiose wiio, lor the sake " Of others, dare to die. My life is (h)ne. «' But you, beh)ved ones, live on, live on. " Through lengtheno.l yeai's, and with unclouded brow!" i XL. To whom the mother quickly made reply, '* And who will then protect our child, whore all " Is Htrange and perilous, and help is small ? " fcjome strong defender should be ever by, " And therefore is it better that 1 go." This heard the boy, and raised, with laughing eyo, A blade of spoar-grass in his hand, and said " With this will I strike otf the giant's head." The parents hoard, and smiled amid their woo. XLI. Then, at the Marut's word, Kiridion Took up his father's mighty sword, a blade Forged by celestial hands, and lightly swayed The heavy falchion, flashing in the sun, And laughed to hear it whistle through the air. So, terrible as Indra, strode ho on, Adown the forest path, all hushed and dim, —A temple, sculptured fair with leaf and limb,— And met, and slew the cruel Daitya there. » 19 — XLII. Siieh wore tlio lessons which tlio Manit tan,i,'ht, LessoriH of pity idul of hardihood. Then rose the four frorn (hat tjroon solitddo, And floated westward, over Iladramaiit, Kogioii of death ; and ))assed CarK.piis hoar, Fresh as a vision of the mornini^^ then, and sought The silence of the lonely western sea, Unknown and vast, witii wild waves rolling' free, Beyond Pyrono, and the .sun sot shore. XLIII. Tl Throuijjh the dim shadows of the moonlit niirht, What phantom comes ? The winds have sun'k to s Ihero is no sound or motion on the doej), Wrapt, as a bride, in veil of j^-auzy light. What galley, slow and ghostlike, parts the foam, With laboring oars, and shredded sails of white, Battered with storms ? " Behold," said Sanadon, " Girt with his friends, Ulysses wanders on, " Adventurous, forgetful of his homo I " leep, I 1 XLIV. The large browed chieftains from Scamandor's plain, Sages and warriors, kings of eldest time, Sitting as gods,— Ulysses, with the rime Of years upon his beard,— the sails,— the vane,— Were seen a moment through the gloom; then passed Beyond their ken, and all was night again. Slow waned the hours : and when the morning came, And all the pearly orient grew aflame With crimson light, they reached their isle at last, -20 — XLV. But now, stran^ro noto.s of warning filled tho air : The stin grow dai-lc at noon without a cloud ; And solemn voices nightly called aloud, II The hour is well-nigh come I prepare, prepare; " Atlantis sinks in ruin, and the wave " Rolls over her who was orewhile so fair I " Men heard and trembled. Throughout all the land, Life, with its toils and pleasures, seemed at stand ; ' L>eatli came apace, and none was there to save. XLVI. Then came a voice, by night, to'Sanadon, " Arise, and leave the island to its doom ! " Sadly replied ho, " Lot it be my tomb, " If Indra's sons can die I— I have put on " This human nature, with its warmth of love ; " Shall I renounce the blessings 1 have won ? ' '* Shall I forsake these trusting hearts, and rise, " False, and a fugitive, to yonder skies ? " I stay with them. Let the kind god« aiDprove." XLVII. The Voice made answer, " Thou hast spoken well : *• All things grow old and change : but Love remains.' Again tho Marut, " Kvo our respite wanes, '• Ere comes the end, and sounds the fatal knell, " "y^'^ "^10, oh pitying spirit, may there be " Some rescue, some escape, tor those who dwell " Beneath my sceptre ? "-Go thou forth alone, " Walk as a mortal through the dark Unknown ; " Replied tho Voice,—" So shall tho rest bo free I " — 21-- XLVIII. Thoughtful tho Marut roHo from fovorod sleep, And wont abroad. Tho moon yot shono on high ; Tho dow8 foil Hoftly through tho nummor sky ; He walked along tho mai-gin of tho deep, And drank tho healing quiet of the time. What saw he then, that made his pulsos leap With quick HurpriHo ? A stranded-bark lay there ; A wreck, with naked rib.s and timbers bare, Driited, perchance, from some far Scythian clime. XLIX. Then came the light again into his eyes. Homeward he wont, and straightway summoned all, By sound of trumpet, to tho council hall : And told them, thus assembled, in what guise Deliverance might come. As yet, the isle Had launched no sea- boat : lot tho great emprizo Be ventured now: let strong and willing hands Follow, as type, the wreck ui)on the sands : So might the gods upon their labor smile. They answered with a shout that shook the dome. As if with thunder. Then tho work began. From sunny slopes, and meads Flysian, From lonely bays, besprent with ocean-foam, And dales, where summer's choicest blossoms shone, Trooping they came, forsaking house and home. So labored they untiring, night and day , And, ere two waning moons had passed away, A fleet was ready, and tho work was done, — 22 — . LI.
