MRS. MARY B. TIGHE Irish poet (1773 - 1810) How much they err who, to their interest blind, slight the calm peace which from retirement flows!       - [Retirement] Oh! how impatience gains upon the soul   When the long-promis'd hour of joy draws near!     How slow the tardy moments seem to roll!       What spectres rise of inconsistent fear!       - [Expectation] Well the art thou knowest in soft forgetfulness to steep the eyes which sorrow taught to watch and weep.       - [Sleep] Yet in that bulb, those sapless scales,   The lily wraps her silver vest,     Till vernal suns and vernal gales       Shall kiss once more her fragrant breast.       - The Lily [Lilies] Last Revised: 2008 June 30 Copyright © 1999-2008 John C.
