Not illustrated. 1893 edition. Excerpt: ...dreamers gaze above, And lovers learn a holier love From tinge, and glow, and ray: Let strange entrancing lights and hues Bring Heaven before the hearts that muse, The eyes that upward stray. Yet they who look shall look again Ere long, and feel the quest is vain: Absorbed in the Expanse Whence it appeared, my vanished life, Its melting free from storm and strife, God grant! shall mock their glance.

Thy mission genders many a thought, And type by cunning Fancy wrought, And emblem back to Memory brought, I know not how or why. TO THE POSTMAN. Dark Fate, whose store no mortal knows; Full-handed Fortune, who bestows Her favours as she will; Chance, fraught with utmost woe and weal Blind Justice, who her heart must steel; Bright Life, Dark Death, to whom appeal Is vain for good or ill.

The Sun descends in flaming hope That, darkness come and gone, all scope For sorrow will be spent: Thus tho' an evening missive wake Despair, some cheer may overtake And quench her when at Morning break Fresh news thro' thee are sent.
