On his brow<br>Sits melancholy, mark'd with decent pride,<br>As it would fly the busy, taunting world,<br>And feed upon reflection. Sometimes, near<br>The foot of an old Tree, he takes his seat<br>And with the page of legendary lore<br>Cheats the dull hour, while Evening's sober eye<br>Looks tearful as it closes. In the dell<br>By the swift brook he loiters, sad and mute,<br>Save when a struggling sigh, half murmur'd, steals<br>From his wrung bosom. To the rising moon,<br>His eye rais'd wistfully, expression fraught,<br>He pours the cherish'd anguish of his Soul,<br>Silent yet eloquent: For not a sound<br>That might alarm the night's lone centinel,<br>The dull-eyed Owl, escapes his trembling lip,<br>Unapt in supplication. He is young,<br>And yet the stamp of thought so tempers youth,<br>That all its fires are faded. What is He?<br>And why, when morning sails upon the breeze,<br>Fanning the blue hill's summit, does he stay<br>Loit'ring and sullen, like a Truant boy,<br>Beside the woodland glen; or stretch'd along<br>On the green slope, watch his slow wasting form<br>Reflected, trembling, on the river's breast?</div><div style="margin:10px 0">His garb is coarse and threadbare, and his cheek<br>Is prematurely faded. The check'd tear,<br>Dimming his dark eye's lustre, seems to say,<br>&quot;This world is now, to me, a barren waste,<br>&quot;A desart, full of weeds and wounding thorns,<br>&quot;And I am weary: for my journey here<br>&quot;Has been, though short, but chearless.&quot; Is it so?<br>Poor Traveller! Oh tell me, tell me all--<br>For I, like thee, am but a Fugitive<br>An alien from delight, in this dark scene!</div><div style="margin:10px 0">And, now I mark thy features, I behold<br>The cause of thy complaining. Thou art here<br>A persecuted Exile ! one, whose soul<br>Unbow'd by guilt, demands no patronage<br>From blunted feeling, or the frozen hand<br>Of gilded Ostentation. Thou, poor PRIEST!<br>Art here, a Stranger, from thy kindred torn--<br>Thy kindred massacred ! thy quiet home,<br>The rural palace of some village scant,<br>Shelter'd by vineyards, skirted by fair meads,<br>And by the music of a shallow rill<br>Made ever chearful, now thou hast exchang'd<br>For stranger woods and vallies.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">What of that!<br>Here, or on torrid desarts; o'er the world<br>Of trackless waves, or on the frozen cliffs<br>Of black Siberia, thou art not alone!<br>For there, on each, on all, The DEITY<br>Is thy companion still! Then, exiled MAN!<br>Be chearful as the Lark that o'er yon hill<br>In Nature's language, wild, yet musical,<br>Hails the Creator ! nor thus, sullenly<br>Repine, that, through the day, the sunny beam<br>Of lust'rous fortune gilds the palace roof,<br>While thy short path, in this wild labyrinth,<br>Is lost in transient shadow.<br>Who, that lives,<br>Hath not his portion of calamity?<br>Who, that feels, can boast a tranquil bosom?<br>The fever, throbbing in the Tyrant's veins<br>In quick, strong language, tells the daring wretch<br>That He is mortal, like the poorest slave<br>Who wears his chain, yet healthfully suspires.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">The sweetest Rose will wither, while the storm<br>Passes the mountain thistle. The bold Bird,<br>Whose strong eye braves the ever burning Orb,<br>Falls like the Summer Fly, and has at most,<br>But his allotted sojourn. EXILED MAN! <br>Be chearful ! Thou art not a fugitive!<br>All are thy kindred--all thy brothers, here--<br>The hoping--trembling Creatures--of one GOD!</div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br /></a><br />poem by <a href="http://en.citatepedia.ro/by.php?a=Mary+Darby+Robinson">Mary Darby Robinson</a><div class=q>
