SONNET.
WRITTEN UPON THE LICHTENSTEIN PICTURE GALLERY.
Another world springs from the Painter's art—A race of beings separate and unknown;—
Yes! Painting hath a bright world of its own,—
A bright and beauteous living world apart,—
And with a new emotion and a start
We grow acquainted there with much alone
In Fancy's realms existing;—yet thus shown
That sinks as deeply into Mind and Heart
As that we meet in life—ev'n living round!
Painter! inspired creator of bright things!
Wrestler with wondering Nature!—thou hast bound
Her fairest triumphs to thy car, and springs
Around a scene enchanted!—if not found
In Nature's worlds, at least, from proud Dreams born she brings!
Vienna.
