Not illustrated. 1857 Excerpt: ...free as light, air, fire, water, To every thing that breathed upon its surfaee, From the small worm that erept abroad at midnight To sip eool dews, and feed on sleeping flowers, Then slunk into its hele, the liftlo vampire! Through every speeies whieh I yet had seen, To animals of tribes and forms unknown In the lost islands;--beasts that ranged the forests. Orazed in the valleys, bounded o'er the hills, Reposed in rieh savannas, from gray roeks Piek'd the thin herbuge sprouting through their fissures; Or in waste hewling deserts found oases, And fountains pouring sweeter streams than neetar, And more molodious than the nightingale, --So to the faint and perishing they seem'd.

Here eoueh'd the panting tiger, on the wateh; Impatient, but unmoved, his fire-bull eyes Mode herrid twilight in the sunless jungle, Till on the heedless buffalo he sprang, Dragg'd the low-bellowing monster to his lair, Crash'd through the ribs at o...
