 66 And Thou Art Dead, As Young and Fair | 66 And Thou Art Dead, As Young and Fair |
 <poem> <poem>
 +And thou art dead, as young and fair
 +As aught of mortal birth;
 +And form so soft, and charms so rare,
 +Too soon return'd to Earth!
 +Though Earth receiv'd them in her bed,
 +And o'er the spot the crowd may tread
 +In carelessness or mirth,
 +There is an eye which could not brook
 +A moment on that grave to look.
  
 +I will not ask where thou liest low,
 +Nor gaze upon the spot;
 +There flowers or weeds at will may grow,
 +So I behold them not:
 +It is enough for me to prove
 +That what I lov'd, and long must love,
 +Like common earth can rot;
 +To me there needs no stone to tell,
 +'T is Nothing that I lov'd so well.
 +
 +Yet did I love thee to the last
 +As fervently as thou,
 +Who didst not change through all the past,
 +And canst not alter now.
 +The love where Death has set his seal,
 +Nor age can chill, nor rival steal,
 +Nor falsehood disavow:
 +And, what were worse, thou canst not see
 +Or wrong, or change, or fault in me.
 +
 +The better days of life were ours;
 +The worst can be but mine:
 +The sun that cheers, the storm that lowers,
 +Shall never more be thine.
 +The silence of that dreamless sleep
 +I envy now too much to weep;
 +Nor need I to repine
 +That all those charms have pass'd away,
 +I might have watch'd through long decay.
 +
 +The flower in ripen'd bloom unmatch'd
 +Must fall the earliest prey;
 +Though by no hand untimely snatch'd,
 +The leaves must drop away:
 +And yet it were a greater grief
 +To watch it withering, leaf by leaf,
 +Than see it pluck'd to-day;
 +Since earthly eye but ill can bear
 +To trace the change to foul from fair.
 +
 +I know not if I could have borne
 +To see thy beauties fade;
 +The night that follow'd such a morn
 +Had worn a deeper shade:
 +Thy day without a cloud hath pass'd,
 +And thou wert lovely to the last,
 +Extinguish'd, not decay'd;
 +As stars that shoot along the sky
 +Shine brightest as they fall from high.
 +
 +As once I wept, if I could weep,
 +My tears might well be shed,
 +To think I was not near to keep
 +One vigil o'er thy bed;
 +To gaze, how fondly! on thy face,
 +To fold thee in a faint embrace,
 +Uphold thy drooping head;
 +And show that love, however vain,
 +Nor thou nor I can feel again.
 +
 +Yet how much less it were to gain,
 +Though thou hast left me free,
 +The loveliest things that still remain,
 +Than thus remember thee!
 +The all of thine that cannot die
 +Through dark and dread Eternity
 +Returns again to me,
 +And more thy buried love endears
 +Than aught except its living years.

 +When all our feelings were the same
 +As still my soul hath been to thee.
 +
 +And from that hour when first thy tongue
 +Confess'd a love which equall'd mine,
 +Though many a grief my heart hath wrung,
 +Unknown, and thus unfelt, by thine,
 +
 +None, none hath sunk so deep as this---
 +To think how all that love hath flown;
 +Transient as every faithless kiss,
 +But transient in thy breast alone.
 +
 +And yet my heart some solace knew,
 +When late I heard thy lips declare,
 +In accents once imagined true,
 +Remembrance of the days that were.
 +
 +Yes! my adored, yet most unkind!
 +Though thou wilt never love again,
 +To me 'tis doubly sweet to find
 +Remembrance of that love remain.
  
 +Yes! 'tis a glorious thought to me,
 +Nor longer shall my soul repine,
 +Whate'er thou art or e'er shalt be,
 +Thou hast been dearly, solely mine.

 +The isles of Greece, the isles of Greece!
 +Where burning Sappho loved and sung,
 +Where grew the arts of war and peace,
 +Where Delos rose, and Phoebus
 +sprung!
 +Eternal summer gilds them yet,
 +But all, except their sun, is set...
  
 +The mountains look on Marathon--
 +And Marathon looks on the sea;
 +And musing there an hour alone,
 +I dreamed that Greece might still be free;
 +For standing on the Persians' grave,
 +I could not deem myself a slave.
 +
 +A king sat on the rocky brow
 +Which looks o'er sea-born Salamis;
 +And ships, by thousands, lay below,
 +And men in nations--all were his!
 +He counted them at break of day--
 +And when the sun set, where were they?
 +
 +And where are they? And where art thou?
 +My country? On thy voiceless shore
 +The heroic lay is tuneless now--
 +The heroic bosom beats no more!
 +And must thy lyre, so long divine,
 +Degenerate into hands like mine?
 +
 +'Tis something, in the dearth of fame,
 +Though linked among a fettered race,
 +To feel at least a patriot's shame,
 +Even as I sing, suffuse my face;
 +For what is left the poet here?
 +For Greeks a blush--for Greece a tear....
 +
 +Fill high the bowl with Samian wine!
 +Our virgins dance beneath the shade--
 +I see their glorious black eyes shine;
 +But gazing on each glowing maid,
 +My own the burning teardrop laves,
 +To think such breasts must suckle slaves.
 +
 +Place me on Sunium's marbled steep,
 +Where nothing, save the waves and I,
 +May hear our mutual murmurs sweep;
 +There, swanlike, let me sing and die:
 +A land of slaves shall ne'er be mine--
 +Dash down yon cup of Samian wine!

 70 The Siege and Conquest of Alhama | 70 The Siege and Conquest of Alhama |
 <poem> <poem>
 +The Moorish King rides up and down,
 +Through Granada's royal town;
 +From Elvira's gate to those
 +Of Bivarambla on he goes.
 +Woe is me, Alhama!
 +
 +Letters to the monarch tell
 +How Alhama's city fell:
 +In the fire the scroll he threw,
 +And the messenger he slew.
 +Woe is me, Albamal
 +
 +He quits his mule, and mounts his horse,
 +And through the street directs his course;
 +Through the street of Zacatin
 +To the Alhambra spurring in.
 +Woe is me, Alhama!
 +
 +When the Alhambra walls he gain'd,
 +On the moment he ordain'd
 +That the trumpet straight should sound
 +With the silver clarion round.
 +Woe is me, Alhamal
 +
 +And when the hollow drums of war
 +Beat the loud alarm afar,
 +That the Moors of town and plain
 +Might answer to the martial strain.
 +Woe is me, Alhama!
 +
 +Then the Moors, by this aware,
 +That bloody Mars recall'd them there,
 +One by one, and two by two,
 +To a mighty squadron grew.
 +Woe is me, Alhama!
 +
 +Out then spake an aged Moor
 +In these words the king before,
 +'Wherefore call on us, oh King?
 +What may mean this gathering?'
 +Woe is me, Alhama!
 +
 +'Friends! ye have, alas! to know
 +Of a most disastrous blow;
 +That the Christians, stern and bold,
 +Have obtain'd Alhama's hold.'
 +Woe is me, Alhama!
 +
 +Out then spake old Alfaqui,
 +With his beard so white to see,
 +'Good King! thou art justly served,
 +Good King! this thou hast deserved.
 +Woe is me, Alhama!
 +
 +'By thee were slain, in evil hour,
 +The Abencerrage, Granada's flower;
 +And strangers were received by thee
 +Of Cordova the Chivalry.
 +Woe is me, Alhama!
 +
 +'And for this, oh King! is sent
 +On thee a double chastisement:
 +Thee and thine, thy crown and realm,
 +One last wreck shall overwhelm.
 +Woe is me, Alhama!
 +
 +'He who holds no laws in awe,
 +He must perish by the law;
 +And Granada must be won,
 +And thyself with her undone.'
 +Woe is me, Alhama!
 +
 +Fire crashed from out the old Moor's eyes,
 +The Monarch's wrath began to rise,
 +Because he answer'd, and because
 +He spake exceeding well of laws.
 +Woe is me, Alhama!
 +
 +'There is no law to say such things
 +As may disgust the ear of kings:
 +'Thus, snorting with his choler, said
 +The Moorish King, and doom'd him dead.
 +Woe is me, Alhama!
 +
 +Moor Alfaqui! Moor Alfaqui!
 +Though thy beard so hoary be,
 +The King hath sent to have thee seized,
 +For Alhama's loss displeased.
 +Woe is me, Alhama!
 +
 +And to fix thy head upon
 +High Alhambra's loftiest stone;
 +That thus for thee should be the law,
 +And others tremble when they saw.
 +Woe is me, Alhama!
 +
 +'Cavalier, and man of worth!
 +Let these words of mine go forth!
 +Let the Moorish Monarch know,
 +That to him I nothing owe.
 +Woe is me, Alhama!
 +
 +'But on my soul Alhama weighs,
 +And on my inmost spirit preys;
 +And if the King his land hath lost,
 +Yet others may have lost the most.
 +Woe is me, Alhama!
 +
 +'Sires have lost their children, wives
 +Their lords, and valiant men their lives!
 +One what best his love might claim
 +Hath lost, another wealth, or fame.
 +Woe is me, Alhama!
 +
 +'I lost a damsel in that hour,
 +Of all the land the loveliest flower;
 +Doubloons a hundred I would pay,
 +And think her ransom cheap that day.'
 +Woe is me, Alhama!
 +
 +And as these things the old Moor said,
 +They sever'd from the trunk his head;
 +And to the Alhambra's wall with speed
 +'Twas carried, as the King decreed.
 +Woe is me, Alhama!
 +
 +And men and infants therein weep
 +Their loss, so heavy and so deep;
 +Granada's ladies, all she rears
 +Within her walls, burst into tears.
 +Woe is me, Alhama!
  
 +And from the windows o'er the walls
 +The sable web of mourning falls;
 +The King weeps as a woman o'er
 +His loss, for it is much and sore.
 +Woe is me, Alhama!

 +Though long and mournful must it be,

 +But could I be what I have been,

 +Which once my warmest wishes blest---
 +I should not seek another zone,

 +'Tis long since I beheld that eye
 +Which gave me bliss or misery;

 +Never to think of it again:
 +For though I fly from Albion,
 +I still can only love but one.
 +
 +As some lone bird, without a mate,
 +My weary heart is desolate;
 +I look around, and cannot trace
 +One friendly smile or welcome face,
 +And ev'n in crowds am still alone,
 +Because I cannot love but one.

 +And I will cross the whitening foam,

 +I go---but wheresoe'er I flee
 +There's not an eye will weep for me;
 +There's not a kind congenial heart,
 +Where I can claim the meanest part;

 +Would whelm some softer hearts with woe---
 +But mine, alas! has stood the blow;
 +Yet still beats on as it begun,
 +And never truly loves but one.
 +
 +And who that dear lov'd one may be,
 +Is not for vulgar eyes to see;
 +And why that early love was cross'd,
 +Thou know'st the best, I feel the most;
 +But few that dwell beneath the sun
 +Have loved so long, and loved but one.

 +I've tried another's fetters too,

 +Forbade my bleeding breast to own
 +A kindred care for aught but one.

 +This faint resemblance of thy charms,
 +(Though strong as mortal art could give,)
 +My constant heart of fear disarms,
 +Revives my hopes, and bids me live.
  
 +Here, I can trace the locks of gold
 +Which round thy snowy forehead wave;
 +The cheeks which sprung from Beauty's mould,
 +The lips, which made me Beauty's slave.
 +
 +Here I can trace---ah, no! that eye,
 +Whose azure floats in liquid fire,
 +Must all the painter's art defy,
 +And bid him from the task retire.
 +
 +Here, I behold its beauteous hue;
 +But where's the beam so sweetly straying,
 +Which gave a lustre to its blue,
 +Like Luna o'er the ocean playing?
 +
 +Sweet copy! far more dear to me,
 +Lifeless, unfeeling as thou art,
 +Than all the living forms could be,
 +Save her who plac'd thee next my heart.
 +
 +She plac'd it, sad, with needless fear,
 +Lest time might shake my wavering soul,
 +Unconscious that her image there
 +Held every sense in fast control.
 +
 +Thro' hours, thro' years, thro' time, 'twill cheer---
 +My hope, in gloomy moments, raise;
 +In life's last conflict 'twill appear,
 +And meet my fond, expiring gaze.

 +Away, ye gay landscapes, ye garden of roses!
 +In you let the minions of luxury rove;
 +Restore me to the rocks, where the snowflake reposes,
 +Though still they are sacred to freedom and love:
 +Yet, Caledonia, beloved are thy mountains,
 +Round their white summits though elements war;
 +Though cataracts foam 'stead of smooth-flowing fountains,
 +I sigh for the valley of dark Loch na Garr.
 +
 +Ah! there my young footsteps in infancy wandered;
 +My cap was teh bonnet, my cloak was the plaid;
 +On chieftains long perished my memory pondered,
 +As daily I strode through the pine-covered glade;
 +I sought not my home till the day's dying glory
 +Gave place to the rays of the bright polar star;
 +For fancy was cheered by traditional story,
 +Disclosed by the natives of dark Loch na Garr.
 +
 +"Shades of the dead! have I not heard your voices
 +Rise on the night-rolling breath of the gale?"
 +Surely the soul of the hero rejoices,
 +And rides on the wind, o'er his own Highland vale.
 +Rouch Loch na Garr while the stormy mist gathers,
 +Winter presides in his cold icy car:
 +Clouds there encircle the forms of my fathers;
 +They dwell in the tempests of dark Loch na Garr.
 +
 +"Ill-starred, though brave, did no visions foreboding
 +Tell you that fate had forsaken your cause?"
 +Ah! were you destined to die at Culloden,
 +Victory crowned not your fall with applause:
 +Still were you happy in death's earthy slumber,
 +You rest with your clan in the caves of Braemar;
 +The pibroch resounds, to the piper's loud number,
 +Your deeds on the echoes of dark Loch na Garr.
  
 +Years have rolled on, Loch na Garr, since I left you,
 +Years must elapse ere I tread you again:
 +Nature of verdure and flowers has bereft you,
 +Yet still are you dearer than Albion's plain.
 +England! thy beauties are tame and domestic
 +To one who has roved o'er the mountains afar:
 +Oh for the crags that are wild and majestic!
 +The steep frowning glories of the dark Loch na Garr.

 +For thou art form'd so heavenly fair,
 +Howe'er those orbs may wildly beam,
 +We must admire, but still despair;

 +When Nature stamp'd thy beauteous birth,

 +She fear'd that, too divine for earth,
 +The skies might claim thee for their own.

 +Therefore, to guard her dearest work,
 +Lest angels might dispute the prize,
 +She bade a secret lightning lurk,
 +Within those once celestial eyes.
 +
 +These might the boldest Sylph appall,
 +When gleaming with meridian blaze;
 +Thy beauty must enrapture all;
 +But who can dare thine ardent gaze?

 +'Tis said that Berenice's hair,
 +In stars adorns the vault of heaven;
 +But they would ne'er permit thee there,
 +Who wouldst so far outshine the seven.

 +Where fancy, yet, joys to retrace the resemblance

 +The Moorish King rides up and down,
 +Through Granada's royal town;
 +From Elvira's gate to those
 +Of Bivarambla on he goes.
 +Woe is me, Alhama!
  
 +Letters to the monarch tell
 +How Alhama's city fell:
 +In the fire the scroll he threw,
 +And the messenger he slew.
 +Woe is me, Albamal
 +
 +He quits his mule, and mounts his horse,
 +And through the street directs his course;
 +Through the street of Zacatin
 +To the Alhambra spurring in.
 +Woe is me, Alhama!
 +
 +When the Alhambra walls he gain'd,
 +On the moment he ordain'd
 +That the trumpet straight should sound
 +With the silver clarion round.
 +Woe is me, Alhamal
 +
 +And when the hollow drums of war
 +Beat the loud alarm afar,
 +That the Moors of town and plain
 +Might answer to the martial strain.
 +Woe is me, Alhama!
 +
 +Then the Moors, by this aware,
 +That bloody Mars recall'd them there,
 +One by one, and two by two,
 +To a mighty squadron grew.
 +Woe is me, Alhama!
 +
 +Out then spake an aged Moor
 +In these words the king before,
 +'Wherefore call on us, oh King?
 +What may mean this gathering?'
 +Woe is me, Alhama!
 +
 +'Friends! ye have, alas! to know
 +Of a most disastrous blow;
 +That the Christians, stern and bold,
 +Have obtain'd Albania's hold.'
 +Woe is me, Alhama!
 +
 +Out then spake old Alfaqui,
 +With his beard so white to see,
 +'Good King! thou art justly served,
 +Good King! this thou hast deserved.
 +Woe is me, Alhama!
 +
 +'By thee were slain, in evil hour,
 +The Abencerrage, Granada's flower;
 +And strangers were received by thee
 +Of Cordova the Chivalry.
 +Woe is me, Alhama!
 +
 +'And for this, oh King! is sent
 +On thee a double chastisement:
 +Thee and thine, thy crown and realm,
 +One last wreck shall overwhelm.
 +Woe is me, Alhama!
 +
 +'He who holds no laws in awe,
 +He must perish by the law;
 +And Granada must be won,
 +And thyself with her undone.'
 +Woe is me, Alhama!
 +
 +Fire crashed from out the old Moor's eyes,
 +The Monarch's wrath began to rise,
 +Because he answer'd, and because
 +He spake exceeding well of laws.
 +Woe is me, Alhama!
 +
 +'There is no law to say such things
 +As may disgust the ear of kings:
 +'Thus, snorting with his choler, said
 +The Moorish King, and doom'd him dead.
 +Woe is me, Alhama!
 +
 +Moor Alfaqui! Moor Alfaqui!
 +Though thy beard so hoary be,
 +The King hath sent to have thee seized,
 +For Alhama's loss displeased.
 +Woe is me, Alhama!
 +
 +And to fix thy head upon
 +High Alhambra's loftiest stone;
 +That thus for thee should be the law,
 +And others tremble when they saw.
 +Woe is me, Alhama!
 +
 +'Cavalier, and man of worth!
 +Let these words of mine go forth!
 +Let the Moorish Monarch know,
 +That to him I nothing owe.
 +Woe is me, Alhama!
 +
 +'But on my soul Alhama weighs,
 +And on my inmost spirit preys;
 +And if the King his land hath lost,
 +Yet others may have lost the most.
 +Woe is me, Alhama!
 +
 +'Sires have lost their children, wives
 +Their lords, and valiant men their lives!
 +One what best his love might claim
 +Hath lost, another wealth, or fame.
 +Woe is me, Alhama!
 +
 +'I lost a damsel in that hour,
 +Of all the land the loveliest flower;
 +Doubloons a hundred I would pay,
 +And think her ransom cheap that day.'
 +Woe is me, Alhama!
 +
 +And as these things the old Moor said,
 +They sever'd from the trunk his head;
 +And to the Alhambra's wall with speed
 +'Twas carried, as the King decreed.
 +Woe is me, Alhama!
 +
 +And men and infants therein weep
 +Their loss, so heavy and so deep;
 +Granada's ladies, all she rears
 +Within her walls, burst into tears.
 +Woe is me, Alhama!
 +
 +And from the windows o'er the walls
 +The sable web of mourning falls;
 +The King weeps as a woman o'er
 +His loss, for it is much and sore.
 +Woe is me, Alhama!

 +Why, Pigot, complain of this damsel's disdain,
 +Why thus in despair do you fret?
 +For months you may try, yet, believe me, a sigh
 +Will never obtain a coquette.
 +
 +Would you teach her to love? for a time seem to rove;
 +At first she may frown in a pet;
 +But leave her awhile, she shortly will smile,
 +And then you may kiss your coquette.
 +
 +For such are the airs of these fanciful fairs,
 +They think all our homage a debt:
 +Yet a partial neglect soon takes an effect,
 +And humbles the proudest coquette.
 +
 +Dissemble your pain, and lengthen your chain,
 +And seem her hauteur to regret;
 +If again you shall sigh, she no more will deny,
 +That yours is the rosy coquette.
 +
 +If still, from false pride, your pangs she deride,
 +This whimsical virgin forget;
 +Some other adiaiire, who will melt with your fire,
 +And laugh at the little coquette.
 +
 +For me I adore some twenty or more,
 +And love them most dearly but yet
 +Though my heart they enthral, I'd abandon them all,
 +Did they act like your blooming coquette.
 +
 +No longer repine, adopt this design,
 +And break through her slight-woven net;
 +Away with despair, no longer forbear
 +To fly from the captious coquette.
  
 +Then quit her, my friend your bosom defend,
 +Ere quite with her snares you're beset;
 +Lest your deep-wounded heart, when incensed by the smart, Should lead you to curse the coquette.
