My FIRST is of my SECOND made,


And holds within its ample bound,
The grosser things of human trade,
From half a ton to half a pound.
But mostly from a barren isle,
Named from the land of Bajazet,
Where tropic sunbeams fiercely smile,
It brings a crystalled muriate.

But, in the land of Moslem mosque,


Of cool sherbet, and scimitar,
Of harem dark and fair kiosk,
It hath an office fouler far
Than e’en the headsman’s sinecure:
For slighted loves and jealousies
It finds a never-failing cure
Deep in the dark Borysthenes.

The fleecy flocks on Scotia’s hills;


The snow-crowned plant on Georgia’s soil,
The Linum with its pale blue bells,
My SECOND yield to human toil.
To shelter from the sun and storm,
It hangs in most unseemly shape
Around the beggar’s shriveled form;
Or fits a dandy, or an ape.

The gentle Rizpah, when the ire


Of Gibeon poured its bloody gall,
Did to the courts of Death retire
To watch the murdered sons of Saul:
More truly great was Aiah’s child,
As on my WHOLE she sat alone,
To fright the wolf and vulture wild,
Than coward Saul upon his throne.

And ever—symbol dark of doom,


A type of deep humility—
My WHOLE speaks of the fearful tomb,
The coffin, shroud, and cypress tree;
Save in the far-off Orient,
Where Light’s own spotless color
Is with the tears of mourners blent,
And made the type of dolor.

Fight as thy fathers fought,
Fall as thy fathers fell;
Thy task is taught, thy shroud is wrought;
So, forward! and farewell!

Toll ye my SECOND, toll!


Fling high the flambeau’s light;
And sing the hymn for the parted soul
Beneath the silent night.
The wreath upon his head,
The cross upon his breast,
Let the prayer be said, and the tear be shed,
So, take him to his rest!

Call ye my WHOLE, aye, call


The lord of lute and lay;
And let him greet the sable pall
With a noble song to-day.
Go, call him by his name;
No fitter hand may crave
To light the flame of a soldier’s fame
On the turf of a soldier’s grave.

Or with their failings vexed.

Oh, kindly fall sweet pity’s words


Upon the outcast’s heart!
My WHOLE will tell how oft they come
Their blessing to impart.

A maid sat sewing in castle hall,


Near an arching window in the wall;
And again and again her song she rehearsed
As she placed on her lover’s kerchief my FIRST,
For her lover was coming from foreign land
To give her his heart, and to claim her hand.

Ah! in foreign dungeon her lover lay,


Where stone on stone shut out every ray.
He never the hand of the maiden would clasp;
He was held by my SECOND’S iron grasp.

With feverish thirst he calls for drink—


Ere long he hears the rattle and clink
Of the jailer’s keys, as he brings the cup,
And bids the prisoner drink it up.

Eagerly, quickly, he slakes his thirst.


Heaven pity the maid! In that draught accurst,
Is mingled my WHOLE; and, with failing breath,
The doomed man sinks in the arms of death.

Another drop, and two remain
Which tell I am a man again.

I bloom and fade within an hour.

Though ’gainst my will to stoop so low,
At their command I come and go.
