About This Item
FITZ-GREENE HALLECK (1790-1867). Halleck was an American poet and member of the Knickerbocker Group. AQS. 1pg. January 13, 1838. N.p. An autograph quote signed “Fitz-Greene Halleck”. Halleck wrote out two verses of Thomas Campbell’s poem “Hallowed Ground”. “What hallows ground where heroes sleep? 'Tis not the sculptured piles you heap; In dews that heavens far distant weep Their turf may bloom, Or Genii twine beneath the deep Their coral tomb, But strew his ashes to the wind Whose sword or voice has served mankind,- And is he dead, whose glorious mind Lifts thine on high? To live in hearts we leave behind Is not to die. (Campbell) Fitz-Greene Halleck 13th Jany ‘38”. It is in very good condition with some toning. There is another poem, written and signed in another hand, on the verso.
