Such a blush
In the midst of brown was born,
Like red poppies grown with corn.

A man that's fond precociously of stirring,
Must be a spoon.

Morning Meditations (1839)

But evil is wrought by want of thought,
As well as want of heart.

There's a double beauty whenever a swan
Swims on a lake with her double thereon.

Another tumble! That's his precious nose!

Oh would I were dead now,
Or up in my bed now,
To cover my head now,
And have a good cry!
