Edward Marsh Heaviside<\/b>

\n<\/a><\/i><\/div>\n

\nfour years, 1843-47, of which place his Mother was a native, and here<\/i>
\nhe composed and published his \u201cSongs of the Heart, the Meeting of<\/i>
\nthe Minstrels, and Miscellaneous Poems,\u201d 1845; and Died at his<\/i>
\nnative place, of Asiatic Cholera, September 6th 1849, \u00c6 28 Years.)<\/i>
\n
<\/i>
\nSon of a sterling Bard, himself as true
\nA Poet as e\u2019er felt the inspiration;
\nCut off from earth ere half his neighbours knew
\nTheir Minstrel\u2019s manly worth; yet will our nation
\nHonour his name, as one who laboured well 5
\nTo spread the light of po\u00ebsy o\u2019er the land;
\nAnd they who knew the Man, will ofttimes tell
\nOf all his virtues. Ye who understand
\nThe Poet\u2019s art divine; will comprehend
\nThe claims of genius; deem not a friend 10
\nToo partial claims a merit more than due.
\nI knew his soul, and much it long\u2019d to give
\nTo earth a treasure that for aye might live;
\nAnd so he gave us Poems as musically sweet as true.<\/p>\n

E. M. Heaviside\u2019s Flute<\/b>.
\n\u201cLike the old English Minstrels and provencal Troubadours,<\/i>
\nour Poet was equally distinguished as a Musician; and they<\/i>
\nwho but once had the pleasure of listening to his sweet<\/i>
\nperformance on the German Flute, will not soon forget his<\/i>
\npleasing strains. But he was taken from us ere half his talents<\/i>
\nwere fairly developed\u201d.\u2014PETER PROLETARIUS.<\/i>
\n
<\/i>
\n\u2019T is forty years since last I heard the Flute,
\nBreathed by the Poet\u2019s lips, whilst Music came
\nForth, as he touched its keys, to raise the flame
\nOf patriotism,\u2014or, like an Aeolian lute,
\nBreathed by the lips of zephyrs, rendered mute 5
\nThe soul, subdued to silence by the power
\nOf too much feeling in that sacred hour
\nWhen finest senses all were too acute
\nFor aught save tears. And yet at times I seem
\nTo clearly listen to its tones once more, 10
\nAs I so loved to do in days of yore,
\nAnd cannot rouse me from my waking dream:
\nYea, do not wish,\u2014for Recollection then
\nSeems to restore him to my hearth again!<\/p>\n
