    "Why, William, on that old gray stone,
    Thus for the length of half a day,
    Why, William, sit you thus alone,
    And dream your time away?

    "Where are your books?—that light bequeathed
    To Beings else forlorn and blind!
    Up! up! and drunk the spirit breathed
    From dead men to their kind.
