Portrait of Felicia Hemans Felicia Hemans Poems of Felicia Hemans in The Court Magazine Volume IV 1834… (1834)

A celebrated picture, by Poussin, representing a band of youths and maidens suddenly coming upon a tomb which bears the inscription "Et in Arcadia ego."
They have wandered in their glee
With the butterfly and bee,
They have climbed o'er heathery swells,
They have wound thro' forest dells,
Mountain moss hath felt their tread,
Woodland streams their way have led
