Synopsis

Excerpt from Dream Life, and Other Poems Proem. Inscribed to Thomas Buchanan Read. Twice has the year decayed, and twiceThe migratory bird has, toward the south, Winged its unerring flight; the iceTwice hushed the streams, rain-filled since summer's drouth. Twice have the garnered fields turned sere;The forests, twice, their varied foliage shed;Twice, wintry stars have glittered clear, Since in his tomb, from sight, I laid my dead. Thy friend, my father, lieth low;His words of counsel, like the brooks, are stilled.To whom but thee, then, can I goTo pour the word-songs that my soul have filled?
