"_Lost Echo_ sits amid the _voiceless mountains_,[M]
And feeds her grief with his remember'd lay,
_And will no more reply_ to winds and fountains."
_Nonsense--physical._
--"for whose disdain she (Echo) pin'd away
Into a _shadow_ of all _sounds_!"
_Nonsense--vermicular._
"Flowers springing from the corpse
----------------------illumine death
And _mock_ the _merry_ worm that wakes beneath."
_Nonsense--pathetic._
"Alas! that all we lov'd of him should be
But for our grief, as if it had not been,
And _grief itself be mortal_! WOE IS ME!"
_Nonsense--nondescript._
"In the death chamber for a moment Death,
_Blush'd to annihilation_!"
_Nonsense--personal._
"A pardlike spirit, beautiful and swift--
A love in _desolation mask'd_;--a Power
Girt _round with weakness_;--it can scarce _uplift_
The _weight_ of the _superincumbent hour_!"
