Excerpt from The Birth-Day: A Poem, in Three Parts; To Which Are Added, Occasional Verses

As way-worn Pilgrim on the last hill top Lingers awhile, and, leaning on his staff, Looks back upon the pleasant plain o'erpast, Retracing far with retrospective eye The course of every little glancing stream, And winding valley path, late hurried o'er Perchance, with careless unobservant eye, F ix'd on some distant point, of fairer promise As with long pause the highest summit gained, (dividing, like the Tyrolean ridge, Summer from Winter) that wayfaring Man Leans on his staff, and looks a long farewell To all the lovely land: So linger I (life's lonely Pilgrim on the last hill top, With thoughtful, tender, retrospective gaze, Ere turning, down the deep descent I go, Of the cold shadowy side.
