THE DEATH OF CHANNING

by William Cullen Bryant

THE DEATH OF CHANNING -

While yet the harvest-fields are white

And few the toiling reapers stand

Called from his task before the night

We miss the mightiest of the band. -

O thou of strong and gentle mind

Thy thrilling voice shall plead no more

For Truthfor Freedomand Mankind-

The lesson of thy life is o'er. -

But thou in brightnessfar above

The fairest dream of human thought

Before the seat of Power and Love

Art with the Truth that thou hast sought - -
