That dyes their white with crimson of the rose;
And there, the zone of burnish'd hyacinth,
That streams across the crimson like a wave;
There is the summer beauty of her cheek
With the rich tress that veil'd it.

When I sat
Beneath her eye, I felt it on my heart
Like a bright spell. 'Tis not the blaze of gems,
Nor vesper starlight, nor aught beautiful
In this descending sun, or in this world,
That can bring back its splendour: 'twas a beam
Beyond all picturings of earth: a look
As we have heard of angels, where no lips
Are wanted to give utterance to the thought;
Its glance was radiant thought. Yet when her
voice

Breathed some old melody, or closed the day
With her due hymn to the Virgin, I have turn'd
Even from the glory of her eye, to weep
Tears, painful from delight. I weep no more:
My world is done-there shines-Rosolia's grave.

JACOB'S DREAM.

FROM A PICTURE BY ALLSTON.

I.

THE sun was sinking on the mountain zone
That guards thy vales of beauty, Palestine!
And lovely from the desert rose the moon,
Yet lingering on the horizon's purple line,
Like a pure spirit o'er its earthly shrine.
Up Padan-aram's height abrupt and bare
A pilgrim toil'd, and oft on day's decline
Look'd pale, then paused for eve's delicious air,
The summit gain'd, he knelt, and breathed his
evening prayer.

II.

He spread his cloak and slumber'd-darkness fell
Upon the twilight hills; a sudden sound
Of silver trumpets o'er him seem'd to swell;
Clouds heavy with the tempest gather'd round;
Yet was the whirlwind in its caverns bound;
Still deeper roll'd the darkness from on high,
Gigantic volume upon volume wound,
Above, a pillar shooting to the sky,
Below, a mighty sea, that spread incessantly.

III.

Voices are heard-a choir of golden strings,
Low winds, whose breath is loaded with the rose;
Then chariot-wheels-the nearer rush of wings;
Pale lightning round the dark pavilion glows,
It thunders-the resplendent gates unclose;
Far as the eye can glance, on height o'er height,
Rise fiery waving wings, and star crown'd brows,
Millions on millions, brighter and more bright,
Till all is lost in one supreme, unmingled light.

IV.

But, two beside the sleeping Pilgrim stand,
Like cherub Kings, with lifted, mighty plume,
Fix'd, sun-bright eyes, and looks of high com-

mand:

They tell the Patriarch of his glorious doom;

Father of countless myriads that shall come,
Sweeping the land like billows of the sea,
Bright as the stars of heaven from twilight's
gloom,

Till HE is given whom Angels long to see,
And Israel's splendid line is crown'd with Deity.

ON THE RUINS OF MESOLONGHI.

GLORIOUS spirits! ye have past;
On the ground your blood is cast,
Tower and bastion, all are won.
Round the new Thermopyla
Lies the gore, and lies the clay,

To high heaven the soul is gone!

Flow my tears! No, let no tear
Stain the slumbers of that bier,

Till the tear of blood shall come. None o'er you the turf must spread; Naked lie, ye gallant dead,

Naked, wait the hour of doom.

Shame to Europe! On her ear
Night and day, and month and year,
While arose your agony;
While before the Ottoman
Christian blood in torrents ran,
She could calmly see you die!

Shame to Europe! when her hand Could have crush'd that ruffian band, Like the worm beneath her feet! Let her now bemoan, bepraise,― Will it quench your rampart's blaze? Will it rend your winding sheet ?

Gold and empire, mighty things!
What are ye when Time's wild wings
Smite ye, as he rushes on!
Down go sceptre, sword, and bust;
Babylon is dust to dust,

Rome is worthless, widow'd, lone!

But, till Earth shall groan her last, Ne'er shall be this spot o'erpast,

Eyes shall weep, and hearts shall s Ay, and flame with freedom's flame, When is heard its fated name, Sublime, indelible.

Down shall go your murderer's reig
Like an universal stain;

Down the turban's head shall go. Come the stroke from Man or Heaven, Blood shall for your blood be given,

Woe be measured for your woe!

Mesolonghi; till the day
Of the pillar'd earth's decay,

Thou shalt be a holy shrine. Wreck'd and ruin'd as thou art, Consecrated to the heart,

Glory be to thee and thine!

III.

'Twas midnight; there was wrath in that wild heaven:

Earth was sepulchral dark. At once a roar
Peal'd round the mountain tops, like ocean driven
Before the thunders on the eternal shore:
Down rush'd, as if a sudden earthquake tore
The bowels of the hills-a flood of fire:
Like lava, mingled spears and torches pour,
The plain is deluged, higher still and higher
Swell blood and flame, till all is like one mighty
pyre.
IV.

'Twas dawn, and still the black and bloody smoke
Roll'd o'er the champaign like a vault of stone:
But as the sun's slow wheels the barrier broke,
He lit the image of a fearful one,
Throned in the central massacre, alone-
An iron diadem upon his brow,

A naked lance beside him, that yet shone
Purple and warm with gore, and crouching low,
All men in one huge chain, alike the friend and foe.
V.

The land around him, in that sickly light,
Show'd like th' upturning of a mighty grave;
Strewn with crush'd monuments, and remnants

white

Of man; all loneliness, but when some slave
With faint, fond hand the hurried burial gave
Then died. The Despot sat upon his throne,
Scoffing to see the stubborn traitors wave
At his least breath. The good and brave were gone
To exile or the tomb. Their country's life was
done!
