Frances Anne Kemble (fanny) Poems
- Venice
Night in her dark array
Steals o'er the ocean,
And with departed day
Hushed seems its motion. ... - The Death-song
Mother, mother! my heart is wild,
Hold me upon your bosom dear,
Do not frown on your own poor child,
Death is darkly drawing near. ... - A Retrospect
Life wanes, and the bright sunlight of our youth
Sets o'er the mountain-tops, where once Hope stood.
Oh, Innocence! oh, Trustfulness! oh, Truth!
Where are ye all, white-handed sisterhood, ... - An Invitation
Come where the white waves dance along the shore
Of some lone isle, lost in the unknown seas;
Whose golden sands by mortal foot before
Were never printed, - where the fragrant breeze, ... - On A Forget-me-not, (brought From Switzerland.)
Flower of the mountain! by the wanderer's hand
Robbed of thy beauty's short-lived sunny day;
Didst thou but blow to gem the stranger's way,
And bloom, to wither in the stranger's land? ...
