«The rapt one, of the godlike forehead,/ The heaven-eyed creature sleeps in earth:/ And Lamb, the frolic and the gentle,/ Has vanished from his lonely hearth.»
«The waves beside them danced; but they/ Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:/ A poet could not but be gay,/ In such a jocund company.»
«When a damp/ Fell round the path of Milton, in his hand/ The thing became a trumpet; whence he blew/ Soul-animating strains - alas, too few!»
«Beloved Vale, I said, When I shall con those many records of my childish years»
«but(for) she is in her grave - and, oh, the difference to me»
«Where the statue stood/ Of Newton with his prism and silent face,/ The marble index of a mind for ever/ Voyaging through strange seas of thought, alone.»
«The child is father of the man;/ And I could wish my days to be/ Bound each to each by natural piety.»
«Ten thousand saw I at a glance/ Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.»
