Ah, there are moments for us here, when, seeing Life's inequalities, and woe, and care, The burdens laid upon our mortal being Seem heavier than the human heart can bear. - [Melancholy] For those roses bright, oh, those roses bright! I have twined them in my sister's locks That are hid in the dust from sight. - [Roses] O years, gone down into the past, What pleasant memories come to me Of your untroubled days of peace, And hours almost of ecstasy. - [Remembrance] Women are only told that they resemble angels when they are young and beautiful; consequently, it is their persons, not their virtues, that procure them homage. - [Youth] For little children everywhere A joyous season still we make; We bring our precious gifts to them, Even for the dear child Jesus' sake. - Christmas [Christmas] There are eyes half defiant, Half meek and compliant; Black eyes, with a wondrous, witching charm To bring us good or to work with harm. - Dove's Eyes [Eyes] Father, perfect my trust; Let my spirit feel in death That her feet are firmly set On the rock of a living faith! - Nearer Home [Trust] I know not which I love the most, Nor which the comeliest shows, The timid, bashful violet Or the royal-hearted rose: The pansy in purple dress, The pink with cheek of red, Or the faint, fair heliotrope, who hangs, Like a bashful maid her head. - Spring Flowers [Flowers] You may wear your virtues as a crown, As you walk through life serenely, And grace your simple rustic gown With a beauty more than queenly. Though only one for you shall care, One only speak your praises; And you never wear in your shining hair, A richer flower than daisies. - The Fortune in the Daisy [Daisies]
