Pride does much and ill, Love does little and well.
The Rod, the Root, and the Flower (1895)
The moods of love are like the wind,
And none know whence or why they rise.
The Angel in the House (1854)
Strong passions mean weak will, and he
Who truly knows the strength and bliss
Which are in love, will own with me
No passion but a virtue 'tis.
The Angel in the House (1854)
Kind souls, you wonder why, love you,
When you, you wonder why, love none.
We love, Fool, for the good we do,
Not that which unto us is done!
The Angel in the House (1854)
Some dish more sharply spiced than this
Milk-soup men call domestic bliss.
Ah, whither shall a maiden flee,
When a bold youth so swift pursues,
And siege of tenderest courtesy,
With hope perseverant, still renews!
