Poems from the "English Bijou Almanack, for 1836."
By L. E. L.
"Schiller.
"Oh, many are the lovely shapes
That glide along thy lovelier line,
And glorious is the breathing life
That warms that burning page of thine.
But never yet a form more fair
Amid the poet's visions moved,
Than Thekla, thy sweet fancy's child,
The German maid who 'lived and loved.'
For her sad sake shall woman's tears
Bedew thy low sepulchral cell,
And say—thrice blessed be the sleep
Of him who knew our hearts so well.
