“And there soft swept in velvet green, The plain with many a glade between. Whose tangled alleys far invade. The depths of the brown forest shade; And the tall fern obscured the lawn, Fair shelter for the sportive fawn. There, tufted close with copse-wood green, Was many a swelling hillock seen, And all around was verdure meet. For pressure of the fairies’ feet. The glossy valley loved the park, The yew tree lent its shadows dark, And many an old oak worn and bare, With all its shivered boughs was there.”

‘Bad are the rhymes. That scorn old wine.’
“Seated beside this Sherris wine, And near to books and shapes divine, Which poets and the painters past. Have wrought in line that aye shall last,— E’en I, with Shakspere’s self beside me, And one whose tender talk can guide me. Through fears and pains and troublous themes, Whose smile doth fall upon my dreams. Like sunshine on a stormy sea,******”
JANE PORTER,
OLE BULL’S NIAGARA
“Well knew to still the wild woods when they roared. And hush the moaning winds;”
“Fools rush in where angels fear to tread.”
