Like ships, that sailed for sunny isles,
But never came to shore.

The Devil's Progress (1849)

The tomb of him who would have made
The world too glad and free.

The Devil's Progress (1849)

A love that took an early root,
And had an early doom.

The Devil's Progress (1849)

He stood beside a cottage lone
And listened to a lute,
One summer’s eve, when the breeze was gone,
And the nightingale was mute.

The Devil's Progress (1849)

A Hebrew knelt in the dying light,
His eye was dim and cold,
The hairs on his brow were silver-white,
And his blood was thin and old.
