SPENSERIAN.
[Sun of Destruction; ne'er again arise]
Sun of Destruction; ne'er again ariseThe flamy gloom of flaming temples o'er,
To shout thy words of fire beneath red skies,
Athwart fire-gleaming sea, and burning shore—
“Burn, burn, till all is burnèd!” Never more
Let men say, “Light destroys.” No, rather crown
The Good dethroned with beams that shone of yore;
As when a bard, of yet unborn renown,
Casts o'er his deathless page the light of suns gone down.
