A man who was about to hang himself A portal as of shadowy adamant A rainbow's arch stood on the sea A scene, which 'wildered fancy viewed A widow bird sate mourning A woodman whose rough heart was out of tune Ah! faint are her limbs, and her footstep is weary Ah! grasp the dire dagger and couch the fell spear Ah! quit me not yet, for the wind whistles shrill Ah! sweet is the moonbeam that sleeps on yon fountain Alas! for Liberty! Alas, good friend, what profit can you see Alas! this is not what I thought life was Ambition, power, and avarice, now have hurled . Amid the desolation of a city Among the guests who often stayed And can'st thou mock mine agony, thus calm An old, mad, blind, despised, and dying king And earnest to explore within-around And many there were hurt by that strong boy And that I walk thus proudly crowned withal And where is truth? On tombs ? for such to thee And who feels discord now or sorrow?
