  • Editor's note: Original poetry
  • At foot of poem: Sydney
  • Epigraph: This spirit shall return to Him/That gave its heavenly spark;/Yet think not, Sun, it shall be dim/When thou thyself art dark!/No! it shall live again, and shine/In bliss unknown to beams of thine,/By Him restored to breath,/Who captive led captivity,/Who robb'd the grave of victory,/And took the sting from death' CAMPBELL
