There is a smile of love,
And there is a smile of deceit,
And there is a smile of smiles
In which these two smiles meet.

Poems from the Pickering Manuscript (1805)

This cabinet is formed of gold
And pearl and crystal shining bright,
And within it opens into a world
And a little lovely moony night.

Poems from the Pickering Manuscript (1805)

For a tear is an intellectual thing,
And a sigh is the sword of an Angel King,
And the bitter groan of the martyr's woe
Is an arrow from the Almighty's bow.
