ON THE DEATH OF S. MARGARET FULLER. [The following lines on the death of this deeply-regretted lady, who perished < in the ill-fated Orion, were written by the distinguished novelist,.G. 3t. James, Esq.] High hopes and bright thine early path bedecked, And aspirations beautiful, though wild; A heart too strong, a powerful willunchecked, A dream that earth-things could be undefiled. v But soon around thee grew a golden chain, That bound the woman to more human things, 10 And taught with joy and, it may be, with pain- That there are limits e'en to spirits' wings. Husband and child-the loying and beloved- Won, from the vast of thought, a mortal part; The impassionate wife and mother, yielding, proved Mind has, itself, a master-in the heart. In distant lands enhaloed by old fame, fhou found'st the only chain thy spirit knew; y But, captive, led'st thy captors, from the shame Of ancient freedom to the pride of new. And loved hearts clung around thee on the deck, Welling with sunny hopes 'neath sunny skies; The wide horizon round thee had no speck; E'en Doubt herself could see no cloud arise. The loved ones clung around thee when the sail, O'er wide Atlantic billows, onward bore Thy freight of joys, and the expanding gale Pressed the gad bark toward thy native shore. The loved ones clung around thee still, when all Was darkness, tempest, terror, and dismay: More closely clung around thee when the pall' Of Pate was tailing o'er the mortal clay. With them to live—with them, with them to die- Sublime of human lovo, intense and fine! Was thy last prayer unto the Deity, And it was granted thee by love divine. In the same billow-in the same dark grave- 11 other, and child, and husband, find their rest: The dream is ended; and the solemn wave Gives back the gifted to her country's breast.
