love may life-is
Ah me! why may not love and life be one?
spring
Spring is a true reconstructionist.
dream heart secret
Each has its lesson; for our dreams in sooth, come they in shape of demons, gods, or elves, are allegories with deep hearts of truth that tell us solemn secrets of ourselves.
lying mourning defeated
There is no holier spot of ground than where defeated valor lies by mourning beauty crowned
lonely dark green
Out in the lonely woods the jasmine burns Its fragrant lamps, and turns Into a royal court with green festoons The banks of dark lagoons.
lying humble sleep
Sleep sweetly in your humble graves,Sleep, martyrs of a fallen cause;Though yet no marble column cravesThe pilgrim here to pause.Stoop, angels, hither from the skies!There is no holier spot of groundThan where defeated valor lies,By mourning beauty crowned!
