Poet Analysis

First Line: WHEN THE STORM-CLOUD THAT LOWERS O'ER THE DAYBEAM IS GONE
Last Line: SHE WILL SMILE THROUGH THE TEARS OF REVIVAL ON THINE.
Subject(s): EMMET, ROBERT (1778-1803); GRAVES; TOMBS; TOMBSTONES;
When the storm-cloud that lowers o'er the daybeam is gone,
Unchanged, unextinguished its life-spring will shine;
When Erin has ceased with their memory to groan,
She will smile through the tears of revival on thine.
