JUST where the Treasury's marble front
Looks over Wall Street's mingled nations;
Where Jews and Gentiles most are wont
...
I SAW the constellated matin choir
Then when they sang together in the dawn,—
The morning stars of this first rounded day
...
A. D. 1692
SOE, Mistress Anne, faire neighbour myne,
How rides a witche when nighte-winds blowe?
...
WHEN the veil from the eyes is lifted
The seer's head is gray;
When the sailor to shore has drifted
The sirens are far away.
...
THOU art mine, thou hast given thy word;
Close, close in my arms thou art clinging;
Alone for my ear thou art singing
...
I HAVE a little kinsman
Whose earthly summers are but three,
And yet a voyager is he
Greater than Drake or Frobisher,
...
THAT year? Yes, doubtless I remember still,--
Though why take count of every wind that blows!
'T was plain, men said, that Fortune used me ill
...
Voice of the western wind!
Thou singest from afar,
Rich with the music of a land
Where all my memories are;
...
THey that in course of heauenly spheares are skild,
To euery planet point his sundry yeare:
in which her circles voyage is fulfild,
...
LOOK on this cast, and know the hand
That bore a nation in its hold:
From this mute witness understand
What Lincoln was,—how large of mould
...
