Across the threshold led,
And every tear kissed off as soon as shed,
His house she enters, there to be a light,
Shining within, when all without is night;
A guardian angel o’er his life presiding,
Doubling his pleasures, and his cares dividing!

— Samuel Rogers

Oh ! She was good as she was fair,
None—none on earth above her!
As pure in thought as angels are:
To know her was to love her.

Jacqueline (1814)

To vanish in the chinks that Time has made.

The good are better made by ill,
As odours crushed are sweeter still.

Jacqueline (1814)

Hence, to the realms of Night, dire Demon, hence!
Thy chain of adamant can bind
That little world, the human mind,
And sink its noblest powers to impotence.

Ode to Superstition (1786)

Fireside happiness, to hours of ease
Blest with that charm, the certainty to please.
