Excerpt from Grouped Thoughts and Scattered Fancies: A Collection of Sonnets

Sympathies.

I will breathe music in the little bell
That cups this flower, until it takes a tone
For every feeling human heart has known;
Though hearts their secrets may not often tell,
Mine is the charm to win them: I will wake
Strains, which though new to men, they shall not fail
To tremble as they hear, - as an old tale,
Will with new joy the absent wanderer take,
Moving his spirit with a strange delight!
Love will I win from friendship - the old lure
Will I make new, and all the new secure;
And beauty never thence shall fade from sight!
Think not I mock thee - spells of higher power
Are gathered in the blue depths of this flower.

To The Sister of My Friend.

Sweet Lady! in tho name of one no more,
Both of us loved and neither shall forget,
Make mo thy brother, - though our hearts before,
Perchance, have never in communion met;
Give me thy gentle memories, though there be,
Between our forms some thousand miles of sea,
