His love was like the liberal air,—
Embracing all, to cheer and bless;
And every grief that mortals share
Found pity in his tenderness.

More quotes by William Winter

Ambition has but one reward for all:
A little power, a little transient fame,
A grave to rest in, and a fading name.

When will the dead world cease to dream,
When will the morning break?

Though all the bards of earth were dead,
And all their music passed away,
What Nature wishes should be said
She’ll find the rightful voice to say.

Life is arched with changing skies:
Rarely are they what they seem:
Children we of smiles and sighs—
Much we know, but more we dream.

Light and Shadow. in Hoyt's New Cyclopedia Of Practical Quotations (1922)

Fierce for the right, he bore his part
In strife with many a valiant foe;
But Laughter winged his polished dart,
And kindness tempered every blow.

And therefore is wing'd Cupid painted blind.

And Venus sets ere Mercury can rise.
