POEMS BY S.G. GOODRICH NEW-YORK: G.P. PUTNAM, 155 BROADWAY 1851. [Illustration: Frontispiece] And 'mid the awful stillness Of their grave, The forest oaks have flourished-- And the breath Of years hath swept their races, Wave on wave, As ages fainted On the shores of death. The tumbling cliff perchance Hath thundered deep, Like a rough note Of music in the song Of centuries, and the whirlwind's Crushing sweep, Hath ploughed the forest With its furrows strong.
