From the Democratic Pres:.
The exquisitely tender and pathetically af
-fe&iug laaientat-ansof of Ossiah and of Mil
tom, fur their loss of fight have olten called forth
the praises of genius, and the tear., ot humanity.
Their merits as competitions, arc felt and ac
knowledged by every clais of readers. It is
triendfliip or intrinsic worth which presumes to
call to memory the names of Milton and of Os
eian, when about to publish, a fe-.v verses of an
obfeure, good old ma.;, who for ir.any years has
teen in a state of total blindness.
The author of the following lines is EowAP.o
Rush ran? by birth an Euglifhman, by nature a
a Poet, and by trade a Boohfeller. He lives in
Liverpool, and is the writer of the agonizing and
heart-rendering Taleof Mary-le-More. How
often have I heard his voice faulter, seen his lips
quiver, and the fait rheum run from his “ fight-
Icfs orbs” as he beard, or talked of, the miferres
and f-jJUritigs of poor oppre.Ted Ireland.
To the reader of tail-: and feeling, the follow
ing fweedy melancholy Poem, wi l afford a de
licious banquet. If I dare, in i'uch a profufior.
cf beauties to feted, I would willingly call the j
attention of my readers to the second vorfe.— :
Oil! it is feelingly exprelfive of the moll tender j
emotions. Where is the halband—where is the
father, who does not feel it in every fibre of liis
fame t
AH! think if June's delicious rays
The eye of sorrow can illume,
Or wild December’s beatnhf; days
Can ding o’er all a tranfieat gloom.
Ah! think, if.ikies obfeure or bright,
Can thus depress or cheer the mind ;
Ah ! think, Vnidll clouds of utter night,
What mournful moments vvait the bliud.
And Mao sh ill tell lii s cattle far ivoa,
To love the wife he ne’er (hall f.e ;
To !:e a five, and not to know
The silent babe that climbs the tree’ ;
To have his feelings daily torn,
With p ain, the palling meal to find ;
To live d'ftrefs’d and die foilorr^
Are ills that oft await the blind.
When to the breezy uplands led,
At noon, or blushing eve, or morn,
He hears the red-breft o'er his head,
While round him breathes the feinted thorn ;
Bait oh I ir.(lead of Nature's face,
Hills, dales, and woods, and dreams combin'd;
Indead of tints, and forms, and grace,
N : jilt's bb bed mar.de krouds the Hind.
If rosy youth, bereft of fight,
’Midftcountlefs thousands, pines unbled,
As the day flower, withdrawn from light,
Bows to the earth where all mud rest ;
Ah ! think, when life’s declining hours,
To chilling penury are confign’d ;
And pain lias palmed all his powers,
Ah ! think avhat woes await the blind!
