SELECTED POETRY. 
TO THE EAGLE. 
Lord of the lofty sky! 
In whose undazzled eye, 
E’en yon bright sun loves his image to see: 
Emblem of mightiness! 
Where is thy dwelling-place ? 
Oh! to take heavenward one proud flight with thee! 
High on the thunder cloud, 
When it roars long and loud. 
Is thy fire-fostered throne, whence lightnings flash bright. 
Where on thy mighty wing, 
Where art thou journeying ? 
Winging away through the wide fields of light! 
O'er rock and rapid rude, 
O’er the sea’s ample flood, 
High o’er the sun-beams that pour forth the day. 
Through yon dark cloudy glen, 
Far out of mortal ken, 
Bird of the mountain, hie, hie thee away !
