Synopsis
Excerpt from Melrose Abbey: With Notes Descriptive and Historical
So coldly sweet, so deadly fair, We start, for soul is wanting there Its is the loneliness in death That parts not quite with parting breath, But beauty with that fearful bloom, The hue which haunts it to the tomb; Expression''s last receding ray, A gilded halo hovering round decay.
The eye is not dazzled in the contemplation of the ruins of Melrose Abbey (by its perfect splendour), but riveted in admiration of the mouldering fragment that shadows forth the matchless whole which has been, and whose merits we are, from this imperfect speci men, completely disposed to allow.
Within the pile no common dead Lay blended with their kindred mould Theirs was the hearts that prayed or bled, In cloister dim or death-plain red.
