Excerpt from Poems, New and Old
To Elizabeth.
Set her among the angels! let her shine a star!
Nay, call her woman, never more divine
Than when she walks the levels where our human longings are,
And lightens up the prison where we pine.
Be angel to my worship! be star my steps to lead
From Earth's deep gloom to thy radiance above!
The daily inspiration of thine influence I need,
But oh! be simply woman to my love.
