Behold this ruin! 'Twas a skull Within this hollow cavern hung Beneath this mouldering canopy Once of ethereal spirit full The'ready, swift and tuneful tongue. Once shown the bright and busy eye. This narrow cell was life's retreat. If falsehood’s honey it disdained. But start not at the dismal void. This space was thought's mysterious seat And when it could not praise was chained; If social love that eye employed. What beauteous visions filled this spot! If bold in virtue's cause it spoke. If with no lawless fire it gleamed. What dreams of pleasure long forgot; Yet gentle concord never broke. But through the dews of kindness beamed Nor hope, nor joy, nor love, nor fear. This silent tongue shall plead for thee That eye shall be forever bright Has left one trace of record here. When time unveils eternity. When stars and sun are sunk in night. Say. did these fingers delve the mine. Avails it whether bare or shod Or with the envied rubies shine? These feet the paths of duty trod? To hew the rock, or wear a gem, If from the bowers of case they fled, Can little now avail to them. To seek affliction's humble shed. But if the page of truth they sought. If grandeur's guilty bride they spurned. Or comfort to the mourner brought. And home to virtue's cot returned. These hands a richer mead shall claim. These feet with angel’s wings shall vie Than all that wait on wealth or fame. And tread the palace in the sky! —Anonymous.
