This, this was Vesta's seat-sublime, alone, The mountain crag appear'd her Virgin throne, In all the majesty of Goddess might,
Fann'd by pure gales, and bathed in cloudless light; Her's was the dash of Anio's sacred tide,
The flame from Heaven's ethereal fount supplied, And the young forms that trod the marble shrine, For earth too fair, for mortal too divine.
And, lo! where still ten circling columns rise High o'er the arching spray's prismatic dyes, Touch'd, but not marr'd-as time had paused to spare The wreaths that bloom in lingering beauty there— E'en where each mouldering wreck might seem to mourn Her rifted shaft, her lov'd acanthus torn,
Nature's wild flowers in silent sorrows wave Their votive sweets o'er Art's neglected grave.
But ye who sleep the calm and dreamless sleep, Where joy forgets to smile, and woe to weep, For you, blest maids, a long and last repose, Has still'd each pulse that throbs, each vein that glows; For oft, too oft, the white and spotless vest Conceal'd a bleeding heart, an aching breast; Hope, that with cold despair held feeble strife, And love that parted but with parting life; Still would the cheek with human passion burn, Still would the heart to fond remembrance turn, Vow all itself to Heaven, but vow in vain, Sigh for its thoughts, yet sigh to think again.
And thou, Immortal Bard, whose sweetest lays Were hymn'd in rapture to thy Tiber's praise, What, though no more the listening vales prolong The playful echoes of thy Sabine song;
Weep not her olive-groves' deserted shade,
Her princely halls, in silent ruin laid,
Her altars mouldering on a nameless hill- There all is beauty, all is glory still;
Flowers-yet more bright than Roman maiden wreath'd; Prayers-yet more pure than virgin priestess breathed; A fane-more noble than the vestal trod-
The Christian's temple, to the Christian's God!
