Quotes
One that would peep and botanize
Upon his mother's grave.
Upon his mother's grave.
He murmurs near the running brooks
A music sweeter than their own.
A music sweeter than their own.
And you must love him, ere to you
He will seem worthy of your love.
He will seem worthy of your love.
The harvest of a quiet eye,
That broods and sleeps on his own heart.
That broods and sleeps on his own heart.
