II. Hark to the summons of departing Time

[_]

This was written at St. Agata, on the way to Naples, in the same manner, December 31, 1829.

Hark to the summons of departing Time!
Its echoes die upon the fading year;
Build up its requiem in some solemn rhyme,
And bring the final end of all things near.
The tide of being, rushing from afar,
Bears on the fortunes of the deathless soul;
Bright o'er its waters beams a holy star,
And heaven's blest island crowns the glorious whole.
Review the past of this all-varying scene;
Recount with gratitude its every joy;
How few the days unclouded and serene!
How mixed the happiest moments with alloy!
Yet from this mingled mass the soul may reap
The harvest gathered after death's long sleep.
