By Thomas Maude, Esq.
O thou invisible agent, that dost sweep
Through the etherial heavens like a god,
Lashing the seas to fury, rushing o’er
The crackling forests with destroying speed,
Suddenly hurling from its craggy height
The shatter’d pine—quick flying o’er the wastes
Of arid Libyan sands, of which thou heap’st
Conglomerated mountains in thy haste,
And driv’st them scorching o’er the caravan !—
O that I had—unseen and mighty power !—
Wings like to thine, or even that I might ride
Upon thy viewless pennons, and escape
Perhaps to rest !——
