From yon blue heaven above us bent,
The grand old gardener and his wife
Smile at the claims of long descent.

Lady Clara Vere de Vere (1832)

A simple maiden in her flower
Is worth a hundred coats-of-arms.

Lady Clara Vere de Vere (1832)

Her manners had not that repose
Which stamps the caste of Vere de Vere.

Lady Clara Vere de Vere (1832)

You sought to prove how I could love,
And my disdain is my reply.
The lion on your old stone gates
Is not more cold to you than I.

Lady Clara Vere de Vere (1832)
