'Tis not what man Does which exalts him, but what man Would do!

Dramatic Romances and Lyrics (1845)

That's the wise thrush; he sings each song twice over,
Lest you should think he never could recapture
The first fine careless rapture!

Dramatic Romances and Lyrics (1845)

How good is man's life, the mere living!
How fit to employ
All the heart and the soul and the senses
Forever in joy!

Dramatic Romances and Lyrics (1845)

God made all the creatures, and gave them our love and our fear,
To give sign we and they are his children, one family here.

Dramatic Romances and Lyrics (1845)

Cram in a day, what his youth took a year to hold
