Excerpt from Nature and Art: A Poem; Delivered Before the Phi Beta Kappa Society of Harvard University; August 29, 1844 Here warm With love, with heaven-inspiring glow, From climes ideal odorous breezes blow Here h0pe abides unshadowed by a care, Here beauty haunts the dim and fragrant air, Here breathes the Past, in sweet and mellow tone.
