Afar off, And just emerging from the arch immense Where seem to part the elements, a fleet Of fishing vessels stretch their lesser sails; While more remote, and like a dubious spot Just hanging in the horizon, laden deep, The ship of commerce richly freighted, makes Her slower progress, on her distant voyage, Bound to the orient climates, where the sun Matures the spice within its odorous shell, And, rivalling the gray worm's filmy toil, Bursts from its pod the vegetable down; Which in long turban'd wreaths, from torrid heat Defends the brows of Asia's countless casts. little knows the sturdy hind, who stands Gazing, with looks where envy and contempt Are often strangely mingled, on the car Where prosperous Fortune sits; what secret care Or sick satiety is often hid, Beneath the splendid outside: He knows not How frequently the child of Luxury Enjoying nothing, flies from place to place In chase of pleasure that eludes his grasp; And that content is e'en less found by him, Than by the labourer, whose pick-axe smooths The road before his chariot; and who doffs What was an hat; and as the train pass on, Thinks how one day's expenditure, like this, Would cheer him for long months, when to his toil The frozen earth closes her marble breast.

Yet some things soon occurr'd not quite so pleasant; He had observ'd that an unfeeling peasant, It silence mounting on a ladder high, Seiz'd certain pigeons just as they could fly, Who never figur'd more, but in a pie; That was but aukward; then, his lordship's son Heard from the groom, that 'twould be famous fun To try on others his unpractis'd gun; Their fall, the rattling shot, his nerves perplex'd; He thought perhaps it might be his turn next. SWELLS then thy feeling heart, and streams thine eyeO'er the deserted being, poor and old,Whom cold, reluctant, parish charityConsigns to mingle with his kindred mould?Mourn'st thou, that here the time-worn sufferer endsThose evil days still threatening woes to come;Here, where the friendless feel no want of friends,Where even the houseless wanderer finds a home!What though no kindred crowd in sable forth,And sigh, or seem to sigh, around his bier;Though o'er his coffin with the humid earthNo children drop the unavailing tear?Rather rejoice that here his sorrows cease,Whom sickness, age, and poverty oppress'd;Where death, the leveller, restores to peaceThe wretch who living knew not where to rest.Rejoice, that though an outcast spurn'd by fate,Through penury's rugged path his race he ran;In earth's cold bosom, equall'd with the great,Death vindicates the insulted rights of man.Rejoice, that though severe his earthly doom,And rude, and sown with thorns the way he trod,Now, (where unfeeling fortune cannot come)He rests upon the mercies of his God. no tomb is placed for thee,That may to strangers' eyes thy worth impart;Thou hast no grave but in the stormy sea,And no memorial but this breaking heart. wherefore fears to die According to Zimmerman, "Smith mourned most publicly for her daughter Anna Augusta, who married an migr and died aged twenty in 1795.

CHAOTIC pile of barren stone,That Nature's hurrying hand has thrown,Half finish'd, from the troubled waves;On whose rude brow the rifted towerHas frown'd, through many a stormy hour,On this drear site of tempest-beaten graves.Sure Desolation loves to shroudHis giant form within the cloudThat hovers round thy rugged head;And as through broken vaults beneath,The future storms low-muttering breathe,Hears the complaining voices of the dead.Here marks the fiend with eager eyes,Far out at sea the fogs ariseThat dimly shade the beacon'd strand,And listens the portentous roarOf sullen waves, as on the shore,Monotonous, they burst and tell the storm at hand.Northward the demon's eyes are castO'er yonder bare and sterile waste,Where, born to hew and heave the block,Man, lost in ignorance and toil,Becomes associate to the soil,And his heart hardens like his native rock.On the bleak hills, with flint o'erspread,No blossoms rear the purple head;No shrub perfumes the zephyrs' breath,But o'er the cold and cheerless downGrim desolation seems to frown,Blasting the ungrateful soil with partial death.Here the scathed trees with leaves half-dress'd,Shade no soft songster's secret nest,Whose spring-notes soothe the pensive ear;But high the croaking cormorant flies,And mews and hawks with clamorous criesTire the lone echoes of these caverns drear.Perchance among the ruins greySome widow'd mourner loves to stray,Marking the melancholy mainWhere once, afar she could discernO'er the white waves his sail returnWho never, never now, returns again!On these lone tombs, by storms up-torn,The hopeless wretch may lingering mourn,Till from the ocean, rising red,The misty moon with lurid rayLights her, reluctant, on her way,To steep in tears her solitary bed.Hence the dire spirit oft surveysThe ship, that to the western baysWith favouring gales pursues its course;Then calls the vapour dark that blindsThe pilot,--calls the felon windsThat heave the billows with resistless force.Commixing with the blotted skies,High and more high the wild waves rise,Till, as impetuous torrents urge,Driven on yon fatal bank accursedThe vessel's massy timbers burst,And the crew sinks beneath the infuriate surge.There find the weak an early grave,While youthful strength the whelming waveRepels; and labouring for the land,With shorten'd breath and upturn'd eyes,Sees the rough shore above him rise,Nor dreams that rapine meets him on the strand.And are there then in human formMonsters more savage than the storm,Who from the gasping sufferer tearThe dripping weed?--who dare to reapThe inhuman harvest of the deep,From half-drown'd victims whom the tempests spare?Ah, yes! [3] Like many radicals, Smith criticised the French, but retained the original ideals of the revolution. - There do I wish to hide me; well contentIf on the short grass, strewn with fairy flowers,I might repose thus shelter'd; or when EveIn Orient crimson lingers in the west,Gain the high mound, and mark these waves remote(Lucid tho' distant) , blushing with the raysOf the far-flaming Orb, that sinks beneath them; For I have thought, that I should then beholdThe beauteous works of God, unspoil'd by ManAnd less affected then, by human woesI witness'd not; might better learn to bearThose that injustice, and duplicityAnd faithlessness and folly, fix on me:For never yet could I derive relief,When my swol'n heart was bursting with its sorrows,From the sad thought, that others like myselfLive but to swell affliction's countless tribes!

As little recks the herdsman of the hill, Who on some turfy knoll, idly reclined, Watches his wether flock; that deep beneath Rest the remains of men, of whom is left No traces in the records of mankind, Save what these half obliterated mounds And half fill'd trenches doubtfully impart To some lone antiquary; who on times remote, Since which two thousand years have roll'd away, Loves to contemplate.
