Excerpt from Oran and Other Poems

Is quite extinguished, and the heart sealed up For evermore unloving and unloved. What will these anxious hours of care avail? 'tis all in vain - then better end at once These harrowing agonies of baffled hopes. Night after night pent up within this room, These books my sole companions, and the thought, My barque is launched upon the flood of Death, Shrouds my soul, as fear the murderer shrouds, When his own whispers scare him in the night. Happy are those whom Fortune gently leads Through life's serenest scenes, and fills their cup With the luxurious juice of I'leasure's vme But ah! Too many, from their infant years, Are nursed in poverty, and suck the breasts Of Disappointment, and accursed Neglect. Poor scions of a noble family, My heart yearns for you, and I fain would bind Your lascerated bosoms with the balm Of heaven-born, soul-soothing sympathy.
