Suspended be the music of the spheres, Proop wings of time through many mournful years. Art thou dead? Yes! and the shock has rent. As with voltsanic might, the continent. "Who now within our hearts shall fill the throne. Which, here, deserted, desolate and lone, Lost to the darling — ^brightest son of time. Stands like a fobric in a ruined clime ? We fain would call thee back to earth again. With tears of agony, but that were vain. The country mourns in every distant part. Grief dries the life's blood of a nation's heart. # . * * • * «» And, is my hero dead ? my darling gone.

Wand'ring by stormy floods, I'd think and read Of God-like men who dwelt in oother climes, Whose memories are the only records to the^e times; And I would say, HE lived in those far years, In some fair isle, or, perhaps, beyond the spheres. Sudden the truth would flash across my soul, Nor ages intervene, nor ocean roll Between me and my idol, — He lives now. And rears 'mongst sons of men his lofty brow. Then to no warrior old I homage pay, — No bloody hero taints my glowing lay; For men of peace my anthems shall arise, I'll win the laurel, and I'll bear the prize; •' I fought and conquered" by the magic of the mind, And left competitors so far behind, That none was ever known to dare again, The Western Minstrel, or his matchless strain. Is there no poet in this western clime, Whose spirit ean outstrip the wings of time, Call ages back, and from their boundless flight. Rally the spheres to robe his soul yf'nh. light ? Then I, for one, will sing, though every ear Be shut, and nought but winds and waves should hear. Mighty Magician of the wondrous West, Wizard of this New World— art thou at resii / Are thy immortal powers and radiant brow. Now mouldring in the dreary mansions low! - Hark, I saw his spirit soar away. With hosts of Heaven, in angelic array. Up! like the MORN of an eternal day, I watched him still, with dazzled eyes afar. Rushing in brightness on from star to star; His winged form with braided rainbows hung. Back on ten thousand spheres fierce splendors flung. Blinded by serial floods, I saw no more, When once he reached the far Chrystalline shore. Where all the sons of glory went before. He heeds you not, nor the giant piles you rear. Though these may well his attributes declare.

Ye forests, bow before the sighing breeze, 'Till Sol's chariot with Neptune's coursers hurled, Rush thro' electric tempest o'er a ruined world. * « * * Hi I thought that I would tread that distant shore, Near where the Pilgrim Fathers trod of yore. To see the wond'rous man, whom I adore; And here I am at last — alas! I'm come, Yes! near four thousand miles away from home; And did you see HIM ? no, for he was ill; But you may see him if you wait on still — Oh! never, th' splendor of the West is fled — My hopes are crush'd — the glorious Daniel's dead. Immortals never die! ♦ Reason did seem to abdicate her throne, In the dark hour I heard that you were gone, I still did hope new lively strains would start.
