AFTER BELLEVUE SPUR.
They will not waken mure, And all our ardent passions seem in vain. The slow seas break along the sandy shore; The swaying trees to the cold winds complain. They will not waken more. Massive, unmoved th' eternal earth remains ; The torrent falling from mountain hoar Incessantly to th' bare crag complains. They will not waken more, For they have fallen upon perpetual sleep, JSlever to come again to this lone shore, The wave-lapped headland or the snowy steep. By somie far shore, Loosed from this burden of mortality. They nobly suffer, silently adore, Fct ever strong and free. —Charles Oscar Palmer.
