It is mournful to reflect, how many connected with the history of the noble Bard, have died tragical deaths--his 'Page,' immortalized in his tale of Lara, Lady Caroline Lamb, Shelley, and his first love!' The beautiful sentiments of Mrs. Hemans on the Grave of Korner naturally occur on such an occasion, to those who believe and hope in a future--
Have they not met ere now? So let those trust Who meet for moments, but to part for years-- And weep, watch, pray, to keep back dust from dust, And love, where love is but a fount of tears!
