Not illustrated.1831 Excerpt: ... LAST OF THE SOPHIS. Light plays the breeze o'er the Caspian sea, And the dark blue waves roll wild and free, They sparkle awhile in the morning ray, Then dark'ning to purple they dance away; And who could gaze upon that wave, Nor think one moment of the grave? Ah! who has marked those ripples breaking, And gazed, alas! without awaking--Nor thought, as those light billows flow, Life's sparkling hour is fleeting so? And yonder, rising from the shore, The distant rocks hang wildly o'er, With many a tuft of stunted trees, The sport of every playful breeze That sweeps athwart those silent seas, And hills in distance, less and less, Are lost amid that wilderness; Save one, whose snowy brow on high Seems mingled with the cloudless sky, And dimly fades from earth away, Unless where far the eastern ray Hath set its tinge of brighter day, And one might sit, and gazing here, Give not a thought on what one were, Or wish to be a denizen For ever from the haunts of men;--And thus, to let our thought take wings Away from earth, and dream of things More fair, than if reality Were stamped on what can never be--Is happiness to such as me, To whom the world is but a thing, Hath neither frown, nor smile, nor sting To bind me in its spells; For thus, when deep oblivion dwells O'er soul and sense, the heart may steal An hour, a single hour's repeal From sorrows it is doomed to feel. Yet why so soon, that passing dream, That momentary Lethe's stream? And why so sudden must they break, And we to wayward fate awake? To wish, perhaps, to sleep for ever, On what should e'er have been, or never! Here a considerable pause ensued, not in the song of the Tartar Minstrel, but the wind, which rose and mingled its hoarse tones with his wild accompaniment. Now and then, as the storm subsided...
