"
THE HAPPIEST DAY."  
I
THE happiest day-the happiest hour  
My seared and blighted heart hath known,  
The highest hope of pride and power,  
I feel hath flown.  
Of power! said I? Yes! such I ween  
But they have vanished long, alas!  
The visions of my youth have been  
But let them pass.  
III  
And pride, what have I now with thee?  
Another brow may ev'n inherit  
The venom thou hast poured on me  
Be still my spirit!  
IV  
The happiest day-the happiest hour  
Mine eyes shall see-have ever seen  
The brightest glance of pride and power
