Who hears music feels his solitude peopled at once.
God is the perfect poet.
Earth changes, but thy soul and God stand sure.
I count life just a stuff to try the soul's strength on.
The sea heaves up, hangs loaded o'er the land, Breaks there, and buries its tumultuous strength.
A minute's success pays the failure of years.
Autumn wins you best by this its mute appeal to sympathy for its decay.
I trust in nature for the stable laws of beauty and utility. Spring shall plant and autumn garner to the end of time.
Motherhood: All love begins and ends there.
So, fall asleep love, loved by me... for I know love, I am loved by thee.
