Not illustrated. 1837 Excerpt: ...to the pipe of mirth: But Them, alas! the dream of youth beguiles, And soon a pensive look, like me, they cast--Back on the mountains of the morning past; Yet Hope, still beckons, and still beckoning smiles, And to a brighter world her view extends, When earth's long darkness on her path descends. EVENING--CROSSING THE SCHELDT, AT ANTWERP. Evening, as slow thy placid shades descend, Veiling with gentlest hush the landscape still, The battlement, the tow'r, the farthest hill And wood--I think of those who have no friend, Who now, perhaps, by melancholy led, From the broad blaze of day, where pleasure flaunts, Retiring, wander to the ring-dove's haunts Unseen;--and watch the tints that o'er thy bed Hang lovely, oft to musing Fancy's eye Presenting fairy vales, where the tir'd mind Might rest, beyond the murmurs of mankind, Nor hear the hourly moans of misery!

Yet still I gaze, and count each rising wave Which bears me nearer to my home again; If haply, 'mid those woods and vales so fair, Stranger to Peace--1 yet may meet her there. RETURN TO OXFORD.
