Excerpt from The Select Poetical Works of Felicia Hemans

And find mine ark! Yet whither? I must best A yearning heart within me to the grave. I am of those o'er whom a breath of air Just darkening in its course the lake's bright wave, And sighing through the feathery canes hath power To call up shadows, in the silent hour, From the dim past, as from a wizard's cave! 80 must it be! These skies above me spread Are they my own soft skies? Ye rest not here, my dead!
