Children are the keys of Paradise.
… They alone are good and wise,
Because their thoughts, their very lives, are prayer.

Songs of Summer (1856)

There are gains for all our losses,
There are balms for all our pain:
But when youth, the dream, departs,
It takes something from our hearts,
And it never comes again.

Songs of Summer (1856)

Silence is the speech of love,
The music of the spheres above.
