From regions of bliss—the high Heavens above, Where sorrows can never invade him; He saw her distress, and he beckoned his love To ascend, and with joy she obeyed him. And she who is joined to the spirit she mourned, Now in bliss, ’tis in vain to deplore her; For her memory shall live in their bosoms inurned, Who vowed even in death to adore her. Whether hero, or lover, or else matters not, “Other times—other men shall divine him;” Let him rest with his love, by the world forgot, We have hearts large enough to enshrine him. MY EMMET’S NO MORE. Despair in her wild eye, a daughter of Erin, Appeared on the cliff of a bleak rocky shore, Loose in the winds flowed her dark streaming ringlets And heedless she gazed on the dread surge’s roar. Loud rang her harp in wild tones of despairing, The time passed away with the present compairing, And in soul-thrilling strains deeper sorrow declaring, She sang Erin’s woes, and her Emmet’s no more! “Oh, Erin! my country, your glory’s departed, For tyrants and traitors have stabbed thy heart’s core, Thy daughters have laved in the streams of affliction, Thy patriots have fled, or are stretched in their gore. Ruthless ruffians now prowl through thy hamlets forsaken From pale hungry orphans their last morsels have taken; The screams of thy females no pity awaken; Alas! my poor country, your Emmet’s no more! “Brave was his spirit, yet mild as the Brahmin, His heart bled in anguish at the wrongs of the poor; To relieve their hard sufferings he braved every danger, The vengeance of tyrants undauntedly bore. E’en before him the proud titled villains in power, Were seen, though in ermine, in terror to cower, But, alas! he is gone—he has fallen a young flower, They have murdered my Emmet—my Emmet’s no more!” THE TRIAL OF ROBERT EMMET, UPON AN INDICTMENT FOR HIGH TREASON, _Held, under a Special Commission, at the Sessions House, Green Street, on Monday, 19th of September, 1803._ JUDGES PRESENT.—LORD NORBURY, MR.
