“There is about these poems an air of trusting faith, of gentle tenderness, as if of one who, soaring upon the confines of a better life, had longed to leave some sweet remembrance here. They stand forth from the way-side of poetic literature like some peaceful chapel robed in ivy, where the dead are strewn with flowers, and the living steal in the shadows of the evening to seek a rest from weariness and pain.”—Inter-Ocean.
