THREE SONNETS TO THE AUTHOR OF ION.
II.
Yes, I beheld the old accustom d sight,
Pit, boxes, galleries ; I was at “the play;"
I saw uprise the stage's strange floor-day,
And music tuning as in tune's despite;
Childhood I saw, glad-faced, that squeezeth tight
One's hand, while the rapt curtain soars away,
And beauty and age, and all that piled array-
Thousands of souls drawn to one wise delight.
A noble spectacle !-Noble in mirth-
Nobler in sacred fellowship of tears !
I've often thought what sight we have on earth,
Worthy the fancying of our fellow spheres ;
And this is one-whole hosts in love with worth,
Judging the shapes of their own hopes and fears.
