“Angels In The Early Morning”
Angels in the early morning

May be seen the dews among,
Stooping, plucking, smiling, flying:
Do the buds to them belong?
Angels when the sun is hottest

May be seen the sands among,
Stooping, plucking, sighing, flying;
Parched the flowers they bear along.

"A Little Road Not Made Of Man"
A little road not made of man,

Enabled of the eye,
Accessible to thill of bee,
Or cart of butterfly.
If town it have, beyond itself,

'T is that I cannot say;
I only sigh, -- no vehicle
Bears me along that way.

"As Children Bid The Guest Good-Night"
As children bid the guest good-night,

And then reluctant turn,
My flowers raise their pretty lips,
Then put their nightgowns on.
As children caper when they wake,

Merry that it is morn,
My flowers from a hundred cribs
Will peep, and prance again.

"Delight Becomes Pictorial"
Delight becomes pictorial

When viewed through pain, --
More fair, because impossible
That any gain.
The mountain at a given distance

In amber lies;
Approached, the amber flits a little, --
And that's the skies!

"I Asked No Other Thing"
I asked no other thing,

No other was denied.
I offered Being for it;
The mighty merchant smiled.
Brazil? He twirled a button,

Without a glance my way:
"But, madam, is there nothing else
That we can show to-day?"

"I Had No Time To Hate, Because"

I had no time to hate, because
The grave would hinder me,
And life was not so ample I
Could finish enmity.
Nor had I time to love; but since

Some industry must be,
The little toil of love, I thought,
Was large enough for me.

"Much Madness Is Divinest Sense"

Much madness is divinest sense
To a discerning eye;
Much sense the starkest madness.
'T is the majority
In this, as all, prevails.
Assent, and you are sane;
Demur, -- you're straightway dangerous,
And handled with a chain.

"New Feet Within My Garden Go"

New feet within my garden go,
New fingers stir the sod;
A troubadour upon the elm
Betrays the solitude.
New children play upon the green,

New weary sleep below;
And still the pensive spring returns,
And still the punctual snow!

"Who Robbed The Woods"

Who robbed the woods,
The trusting woods?
The unsuspecting trees
Brought out their burrs and mosses
His fantasy to please.
He scanned their trinkets, curious,
He grasped, he bore away.
What will the solemn hemlock,
What will the fir-tree say?
