Is the child of the eiry at all less an eagle , By the thunder transfix'd ere the free sky be won , Than he who attains his ascendancy regal , And quaffs burning life from the heart of the sun ?
So , amid the bright band of the gallant departed , Pure and ardent Fitzgerald , we bid thee repose ; Like the Alp high of mind , like its snow spotless-hearted , - Touch'd with Fame ' s morning sunshine , or Love ' s evening rose * Strange fate , which involved one of heart so domestic , So alive to the joys of affection and home , In the rapids of treason , deep , rushing , majestic—A sleeping swan rous'd by the cataract ' s foam !
Sad Isle ! like the black Loadstone Mount in the story , Which drew out the nails from the vessels that pass'd , Thou hast drawn forth the steel from the young barks of glory , Till they fell unawares to bright fragments at last .
Yet , those fragments still mournfully light up the water—Long Ierne shall hang o'er the dust of her dead , Recalling the lessons her lost martyrs taught her , And blessing the sleepers in Liberty ' s bed .
A new Surrey shall strike , some more fortunate moment , Not the lute , but the harp , to Fitzgerald ' s high name ; And on History ' s text Truth shall write the proud comment—The fairest in life are the brightest in fame .
