ChezDolan: 'The Haunted House'
I seem like one
Who treads alone
Some banquet-hall deserted,
Whose lights are fled,
Whose garlands dead,
And all but me departed.
(Felicia Dorothea Hemans b. 1793 - d. 1835)

HarthouseJames: "The Haunted House" (1834) by Felicia Dorothea Hemans
A poem from the early 19th century Gothic revival in literature, and a metaphor reflecting a haunted mind; it's much like Poe's "haunted house" poem in "The Fall of the House of Usher."

Whence all but he had fled;
The flame that lit the battle’s wreck,
Shone round him o’er the dead.

What gifts of nature mark your throng

And laughing plenty, crown'd with sheaves,
With purple grapes, and spreading leaves.

AMLeahy: Reading Felicia Hemans in my MFA got me thinking about how complicated distinctions between career & art might be. She raised five kids on her poetry income & was more popular than Wordsworth (but not Byron). I’m all about art & also fascinated by Hemans.

lacallada_: Few are the hearts whence one same touch
Bids the sweet fountains flow:
Few–and by still conflicting powers
Forbidden here to meet–
Such ties would make this life of ours
Too fair for aught so fleet.

MelanieJaxn: The convent’s chanted rite was stay’d,
And the hermit dropp’d his beads,
And a trembling ran through the forest-shade,
At the neigh of the phantom steeds,
And the church-bells peal’d to the rocking blast
As the Wild Night-Huntsman pass’s.
-Felicia Dorothea Hemans
BirkzLc: Yet not alone to charm thy sight
Was given the vision fair;–
Gaze on that arch of colored light,
And read God's mercy there.
