Furness (search for this): chapter 20
The Bower Among our recent accessions is the poem here presented, written with pencil in an elegant hand. It bears no date but is signed Lincoln Swan. There were two of the name—cousins. Their grandfather, Samuel Swan, Jr., who lived at Furness' corner named one of his sons for his old Revolutionary commander, Benjamin Lincoln. There were six of them and a daughter, but none other had middle names. He abbreviated them all, saying: There are Sam, Dan——Jo, Han——Lin, Tim, Ca. Sam (uel) and Lin (coln) each had an eldest son, Benjamin Lincoln. One of these must have been the author of the poem, and along with our Mr. Hooper one of the schoolboys he tells of in his writing of the bower on p. 13, Vol. XXII, of the Register. We incline to the thought that he was son of the Benjamin Lincoln Swan who moved to New York.

How strangely like! and Memory's light Plays softly o'er the scene. The visions of youth come fresh to sight As if they were but yesternight, Though years have rolled between. Yet mournfully has my spirit mov'd Among these scenes today. They are unchanged: but those who rov'd Beside me once, those forms beloved, I see not—where are they? Lincoln Swa
