Dewy evening's soft and sacred lull. - [Evening] Low gurgling laughter, as sweet As the swallow's song i' the South, And a ripple of dimples that, dancing, meet By the curves of a perfect mouth. - Ariel [Laughter] And Potomac flowed calmly, scarce heaving her breast, With her low-lying billows all bright in the west, For a charm as from God lulled the waters to rest Of the fair rolling river. - Beyond the Potomac [Potomac River] Happy the heart that keeps its twilight hour, And, in the depths of heavenly peace reclined, Loves to commune with thoughts of tender power,-- A shining Jacob's-ladder of the mind! - Sonnet IX [Meditation] Where drooping lotos-flowers, distilling balm, Dream by the drowsy streamlets sleep hath crown'd, While Care forgets to sigh, and Peace hath balsamed Pain. - Sonnet--Pent in the Common Sphere [Lotuses] Lo! there he lies, our Patriarch Poet, dead! The solemn angel of eternal peace Has waved a wand of mystery o'er his head, Touched his strong heart, and bade his pulses cease. - To Bryant, Dead [Poets] Let the only walls the foe shall scale Be ramparts of the dead! - Vicksburg [War]
