עמוד 159 - THE shades of night were falling fast, As through an Alpine village passed A youth, who bore, 'mid snow and ice, A banner with the strange device, Excelsior ! His brow was sad ; his eye beneath, Flashed like a falchion from its sheath, And like a silver clarion rung The accents of that unknown tongue, Excelsior!
עמוד 159 - Dark lowers the tempest overhead, The roaring torrent is deep and wide ! ' And loud that clarion voice replied, Excelsior ! ' O stay ! ' the maiden said, ' and rest Thy weary head upon this breast ! A tear stood in his bright blue eye, But still he answered with a sigh, Excelsior !

עמוד 159 - A traveller, by the faithful hound, Half-buried in the snow was found, Still grasping in his hand of ice, That banner with the strange device Excelsior ! There in the twilight cold and gray, Lifeless, but beautiful, he lay, And from the sky, serene and far, A voice fell, like a falling star, Excelsior ! POEMS ON SLAVERY, [Tlie following poems, with one exception were written at sea, in the latter part of October.
