The one just suited to our mind!

'Tis distance lends enchantment to the view,
And robes the mountain in its azure hue.

The Pleasures of Hope (1799)

To live in hearts we leave behind
Is not to die.

A stoic of the woods—a man without a tear.

Gertrude of Wyoming (1809)

Who hath not owned, with rapture-smitten frame,
The power of grace, the magic of a name?

The Pleasures of Hope (1799)

Cease, every joy, to glimmer on my mind,
But leave, oh! leave the light of Hope behind!
