"Ah, gentlest soul! how gracious, how benign Breathes through our troubled life that voice of thine! Filled with a sweetness born of happier spheres, That wins and warms, that kindles, softens, cheers, That calms the wildest woe and stays the bitterest tears." -To Longfellow.
"The lark of Scotia's morning sky!
Whose voice may sing his praises? With Heaven's own sunlight in his eye, He walked among the daisies,
Till through the cloud of fortune's wrong He soared to fields of glory;
But left his land her sweetest song
And earth her saddest story."—On Burns.
