    “Solomon! where is thy throne? It is gone in the wind.
    Babylon! where is thy might? It is gone in the wind.

    All Earth’s affections and longings and cares to the wind.”

    I saw the hearse that bore thee slow away,
    And, turning from my nursery window, drew
    A long, long sigh, and wept a last adieu!”
