Excerpt from The Hermit of the Pyrenees: And Other Miscellaneous Poems To - Will thine eye look upon this mystic page? And wilt thou know from whom these visions come? Or art thou so much changed since last we met That at this hour thou canst no longer tell What hand thus writes - what burdened heart pours out The current of its woe? Not as in former days Can I now murmur forth a dulcet lay, Or charm thine ear with glad enlivening song - The storm, the blight have entered here within, And all is bitterness Where once was life and joy.
