The blackened skies have reached the garden walk;
Yet my poor heart tonight cannot be not the restlessâ?¦
The lights that have been failed, the lost of sounds talk,
Are they the remnants of the dream in sadness?
...
How dark and heavyâ??s the deliriumâ??s embrace!
How theyâ??re turbid under moon â?? the heights!
To have touched Violin for so many years
And not distinguish those Strings in light!
...
Select a dark night and in a field, unpeopled, naked,
dip into gray twilight.... May the air, having fanned, becalm,
May the stars, winking, in the cold sky slumber on....
Tell the heart not to count its thumps.... ...
My eyes forgot the heavens- blue,
To them the sun-s dust is not gold,
But I live just one substance through,
That-s to the amethyst-s planes owned. ...

Good Kosciusko, thy great name alone
Is a full harvest whence to reap high feeling;
It comes upon us like the glorious pealing
Of the wide spheres -- an everlasting tone.
And now it tells me, that in worlds unknown,
The names of heroes, burst from clouds concealing,
And changed to harmonies, for ever stealing
Through cloudless blue, and round each silver throne.
