SHELLEY’A GRAVE AND OTHER POEMS. By John Tomlin.
A very neat and unpretending volume, containing much of the truest poetry. We have space only to give an extract from the leading piece of the collection:
What a silence fills the sky
As they build that altar high, —
Silence, wraps the deep;
Night is solemnn, earth is still
Echo, on the lonely hilt,
Yields herself to sleep.
With a never-caving strain
Murmurs drowsily the main;
And the sea-birds there,
Have a chaunt o’er him that died
In his beauty and his pride,
Child of Genius — child of Care!
