Not illustrated. 1857 edition. Excerpt: ... THE BURDEN OF UNREST. I. From our bridal chamber, deareft, we behold the ftretch of bay; From the window watch the sunset, mirrored on its glassy floor: Here in brightness, there in fhadow, trace the fading fteps of Day, Fainting in the weft behind us, dying on the solemn fhore. Splendors on the liquid surface, isles of purple, waves of gold; On the peaks of cloudy mountains ftreaks of red and lurid fires, Blackening, as the eve expires, Like December's lateft embers turning now to allies cold.
