TO THE MEMORY OF CHANNING.
Ages agone, like thee,
The faméd Greek with kindling aspect stood,
And blent his eloquence with wind and flood,
By the blue waters of the Egean Sea;
But he heard not their everlasting hymn;
His lofty soul with error’s cloud was dim,
And thy great teachers spake not unto him.
