And what is he, with lips comprest, and sullen fixed eye?
Deep meanings in that furrow'd cheek and arching forehead lie:
Methought, in one keen flashing look the past and future met,
A struggle 'twas to seize on hope, and cast away regret ;
And then his eye grew cold again, a glassy aspect wore;
Some nurseling of his anxious heart he darkly brooded o'er :
Could I thy meaning penetrate? Resolvest thou some plan
With honour pregnant to thyself, and benefit to man?
Or weavest thou some spider-web with subtle meshes fine,
A miserable prey to catch? Whate'er thou dost design,
The web shall be unwound at length, the mystery be told,
And dark be light, and thou thyself, and others thee behold.
And I? Alas! But hence away all selfish griefs I throw,
Forgetting them in sympathy for others' weal and woe:
To love and friendship let me live; no other hope is mine;
And few kind hearts are beating yet; and I will not repine.
Roll on, fire-winged courser, roll! With all thy speed, I trow,
The hearts of them thou carriest are swifter yet than thou.
A fiercer flame enkindles them. Tumultuous and blind,
In hope, in fear, they hurry on; thou laggest far behind.
Aye, gather all thine energies, roll rapid as thou wilt;
Thou canst not yet move fast enough for Avarice and Guilt;
For her that counts and gloats upon the pelf she cannot see,
For her that flies from all the world, herself can never flee.
And we, with all our journeyings, our headlong mad career,
We cannot lengthen human life. The end is still as near.
More swift than we, thro' light and darkness, over deep and shoal,
The billowy time-river sweeps right onward to its goal.
Yet speed along, thou mighty one! It hath been said of thee,
That with the spirit of the age thou dost too well agree;
Thou seemest with remorseless step self-confident to fly,
And man doth vaunt Salmoneus-like, and heavenly power defy.
Tis false! To spirit more sublime the age hath given birth,
Whose seraph-wing is waving now, illumining the earth!
And wondrous that machinery, that thunderpace of thine;
Yet he that moulded thee doth own his origin divine.
Then forward! Still upon thy course prosperity attend!
And thou shalt be to high and low, to rich and
poor a friend ;
And thou shalt scatter wide the seed of plenteousness and peace;
And man shall move him to and fro, and knowledge true increase.
