TO BAYARD TAYLOR.

UNTO those altitudes of thought where Day
Reigns e'er serene, where unrelenting law
Guides circling worlds and growth of tiniest straw,
Thou led'st with prescient step my doubting way.
And from those radiant heights where naught could stay
The daring eye, there burst upon my view,

Uplooming 'gainst eternity's vast blue,

The image of the mighty sage.

The gray,

Forgotten ages spread about his throne
As if his lofty solitude to guard,

And large, eternal voices-Nature's own
Spoke to the wakeful senses of her bard.
Here have I traced the record of his fame;

Let me inscribe it, friend, with thy dear name.
