O Reader! had you in your mind
Such stores as silent thought can bring,
O gentle Reader! you would find
A tale in everything-

That best portion of a good man’s life,—
His little, nameless, unremembered acts
Of kindness and of love-

She gave me eyes, she gave me ears;
And humble cares, and delicate fears;
A heart, the fountain of sweet tears;
  And love and thought and joy.-


Sweet Mercy! to the gates of heaven
This minstrel lead, his sins forgiven;
The rueful conflict, the heart riven
  With vain endeavour,
And memory of Earth’s bitter leaven
  Effaced forever.-

The music in my heart I bore
Long after it was heard no more..-

A creature not too bright or good
For human nature’s daily food;
For transient sorrows, simple wiles,
Praise, blame, love, kisses, tears, and smiles.-

The world is too much with us; late and soon,
Getting and spending, we lay waste our powers:
Little we see in Nature that is ours.-
