The daughter loved, the wife adored,
And all the joys which death did sever,

Who would not long from earth to fly,

MUSIC
WRITTEN BETWEEN THE AGES OF FOURTEEN AND
VERBAL ALTERATIONS.
Can still each mental storm, each tumult calm,
And e'en fierce Anger's furious rage disarm.
At her command the various passions lie;
Melts the charm'd soul.html">soul.html">soul to thrilling ecstasy,
With strength unwonted, and enthusiasm raise;
Urge on the warrior gray with length of days.
Far better she, when, with her soothing lyre,
And melting into pity vengeful ire,
At midnight's hour, or evening's calm decline,
In calm seclusion's hermit walks recline.
Whilst mellow sounds from distant copse arise,
With rapture thrill'd each worldly passion dies,
Then burst majestic in the varied swell;
Or on the ear in sinking cadence dwell.
Romantic sounds! such is the bliss ye give,
With joy I'd yield each sensual wish, to live
To cheer the soul when tired with human strife,
And soften down the rugged road of life.
PLEASANT MORNING IN SPRING.
WRITTEN AT THE AGE OF THIRTEEN.
Now call forth every songster's praise;
Gaily ushers in the light;
The birds sing songs to Liberty.
But for me no songster sings,
For I, confined in gloomy school,
And far from sylvan shades and bowers,
There con the scholiast's dreary lines,
And close to rugged learning cling,
How gladly would my soul forego
Or stiff grammarians quaintly teach,
To taste each morn of all the joys
