Again in lighted hopes the same —
The love that lingers there for thee
Has more of ashes than of flame.”

The other only changed, himself the same.”

A dark funereal shroud:

A shadow flung by the despair
Within those streets of thine.”

A sunny gift for thee :

A beautiful rose tree.

Your heart must moralize,
For love a lesson takes
Of every leaf that dies.”

(14th May 1825) Song
The London Literary Gazette, 1825

“One of the loveliest daughters of that land,
Divinest Greece! that taught the painter's hand
To give eternity to loveliness;
One of those dark-eyed maids, to whom belong
The glory and the beauty of each Song
Thy poets breathed, for it was theirs to bless
With life the pencil and the lyre's dreams,
Giving reality to visioned gleams
Of bright divinities.”

Song - I pray thee let me weep to-night

Its leaves are of changeless green;
And any thing changeless now, I wis,

The holly, which fall and frost has borne,
The holly's the wreath for a Christmas morn.”

The London Literary Gazette, 1831

“To what may youth's first joyance be compared?
To daylight, and the glad song of the lark
Bursting together, — to a sudden gush
Of perfume, till the giddy senses link
With overmuch delight,— a dream,— a tale
Of Paradise, told in fair poesy.”

(13th December 1823) Poetic Sketches. Fourth Series. Sketch V.— The Island.
The London Literary Gazette, 1823

“If the wind murmurs then they seem to hear
His voice; and when night falls, the shadows round
Seem the dark foldings of his sweeping robe.
At noon, when life sees only the clear sky,
Feels only the bright sun, the fated one
Whom Death hath called, upon the distance marks
The heavy shade so soon to shroud
All nature from their eyes.”

Letitia Elizabeth Landon

And she join the seven who sleep.”

The London Literary Gazette, 1831

“Alas! the praise given to the ear
Ne'er was nor e'er can be sincere—
And does but waste away the mind
On which it preys: in vain
Would they in whom its poison lurks
A worthier state attain.”

Girdling it round, there is one single spot
Where you may sit and rest, its only bank;”
