- Opusculum
Fair Cousin, thy page
is small to encage
the thoughts which engage
the mind of a sage, ... - The Gift Of Perseverance
ONCE, as I brooded o'er my guilty state,

At length I heard its creed confess'd,
And knelt the saints among. ... - A Voice From Afar
Weep not for me;â??
Be blithe as wont, nor tinge with gloom
The stream of love that circles home,
Light hearts and free! ...
