TO CHARLES SUMNER - ZaunköniG - 26.03.2024 TO CHARLES SUMNER. River that stealeth with such silent pace Around the city of the dead, where lies A friend who bore thy name, and whom these eyes Shall see no more in his accustomed place, Linger and fold him in thy soft embrace. And say good-night, for now the western skies Are red with sunset, and gray mists arise Like damps that gather on a dead man's face. Good-night! good-night! as we so oft have said Beneath this roof at midnight, in the days That are no more and shall no more return. Thou hast but taken thy lamp and gone to bed; I stay a little longer, as one stays To cover up the embers that still burn. |
