Phantom's Glue My Clasping Arms...

I hear thee, view thee, gaze o'er all thy charms,

            And round thy phantom glue my clasping arms.

            I wake—no more I hear, no more I view,

            The phantom flies me, as unkind as you.

            I call aloud; it hears not what I say;

            I stretch my empty arms; it glides away.

Serenest Beams

"Tears that delight, and sighs that waft to Heav'n.

 Grace shines around her with serenest beams,

 And whisp'ring angels prompt her golden dreams"

Waves Roar

"Where round some moldering tower pale ivy creeps, And low-brow'd rocks hang nodding o'er the deeps. Sudden you mount; you beckon from the skies; Clouds interpose, waves roar, and winds arise. I shriek, start up, the same sad prospect find, And wake to all the griefs I left behind. "

Phantoms All Around….

            "And stir within me every source of love.

            I hear thee, view thee, gaze o'er all thy charms,

            And round thy phantom glue my clasping arms.

            I wake—no more I hear, no more I view,

            The phantom flies me, as unkind as you.

            I call aloud; it hears not what I say;

            I stretch my empty arms; it glides away.

            To dream once more I close my willing eyes;"

Thoughts From the Sea

No pulse that riots, and no blood that glows.

Still as the sea, ere winds were taught to blow,

Or moving spirit bade the waters flow;

Soft as the slumbers of a saint forgiv'n,

And mild as opening gleams of promis'd heav'n.

Songs From the Virgins

"And whisp'ring angels prompt her golden dreams. For her th' unfading rose of Eden blooms, And wings of seraphs shed divine perfumes, For her the Spouse prepares the bridal ring, For her white virgins hymeneals sing, To sounds of heav'nly harps she dies away, and melts in visions of eternal day"

Loose Soul

"Then conscience sleep and leaving nature free, all my loose soul abounded springs to thee."
