In darkness dissolves the gay frost-work of bliss. —Page 96.
Peace and order and beauty draw
Round thy symbol of light and law. —Page 349.
Lips where smiles went out and in. —Page 386.
All the little boys and girls,
With rosy cheeks and flaxen curls,
And sparkling eyes and teeth like pearls. —Page 391.

Prince thou art,—the grown up man
Only is republican. —Page 3.
O’er me, like a regal tent,
Cloudy-ribbed, the sunset bent,
Purple-curtained, fringed with gold,
Looped in many a wind-swung fold. —Page 6.

As she was long years agone,
To regard the darling dreamers
Ere she left them till the dawn. —Page 8.
I chatter over stony ways,
In little sharps and trebles,
I bubble into eddying bays,
I babble on the pebbles. —Page 60.
For men may come and men may go,
But I go on forever. —Page 61.
