Fugitive Poems (Classic Reprint)

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fugitive Poems The Willow of St. Helena. (From the French) On his dreary, distant couch, Doth He, th' Immortal, sleep! Lull'd by the rippling fount, And the wails of the winds and the deep! Escaped from beneath his tomb, A grey willow lifts its head, And bends in a graceful arch O'er the grave of the mighty dead!
