Beauty and grace command the world. - [Beauty] Gold! gold! in all ages the curse of mankind, Thy fetters are forged for the soul and the mind. The limbs may be free as the wings of a bird, And the mind be the slave of a look and a word. To gain thee men barter eternity's crown, Yield honour, affection, and lasting renown. - [Gold] The mountain rill Seeks with no surer flow the far bright sea, Than my unchang'd affections flow to thee. - [Constancy] Triumph not, O Time! strong towers decay, but a great name shall never pass away. - [Time] Flowers are Love's truest language; they betray, Like the divining rods of Magi old, Where precious wealth lies buried, not of gold, But love--strong love, that never can decay! - Sonnet--Flowers, Love's Truest Language [Flowers] Nigh to a grave that was newly made, Leaned a sexton old on his earth-worn spade. - The Old Sexton [Graves]
