VII.
TO CHARLES ELIOT NORTON.—1.

On reading his ‘Vita Nuova’ of Dante, March 28, 1860.

Norton! I would that oft in years to come
The destined bard of that brave land of thine
Sole-seated 'neath the tempest-roughened pine,
In boyhood's spring when genius first doth plume
Her wing, 'mid forest scents and insects' hum
And murmurs from the far sea crystalline
May smell this blossom from the Tuscan vine,
May hear this voice from antique Christendom;
For thus from love and purity and might
Shall he receive his armour, and forth fare
Champion elect in song, that country's knight
Who early burst the chain weak nations bear
Weeping. 'Mid trumpet-blasts and standards torn
To manhood, with loud cries, thy land was born!
 

America.
