 A ladder of our thoughts, where angels step,
 But sleep ourselves at the foot: our high resolves
 Look down upon our slumbering acts.- A History of the Lyre

 Than your own rose, but there are none

 I am now wreathing;
 This is thy marriage hymn
 I am now breathing.- Sketch the first. "A woman's whole life is a history of the affections. The heart is her world. She sends forth her sympathies in adventure; she embarks her whole shoal in the traffic of love, and, if shipwrecked, her case is hopeless; it is a bankruptcy of the heart."'

 When young Hope is to show the way;- TEN YEARS AGO.
 
-  It is a night of summer,--and the sea
 Sleeps, like a child, in mute tranquillity.- Rosalie.
 
-  Then they were silent:--words are little aid
 To Love, whose deepest vows are ever made
 By the heart's beat alon.- Rosalie.

 When hearts they would have soothed are broken.- The Painter's Love
