Elizabeth Barrett Browning

Elizabeth Barrett Browning
And there my little doves did sit With feathers softly brown And glittering eyes that showed their right To general Nature's deep delight.
Elizabeth Barrett Browning
My future will not copy my fair past, I wrote that once. And, thinking at my side my ministering life-angel justified the word by his appealing look upcast to the white throne of God.
Elizabeth Barrett Browning
And that dismal cry rose slowly And sank slowly through the air, Full of spirit's melancholy And eternity's despair And they heard the words it said,- Pan is dead! great Pan is dead! Pan, Pan is dead!
Elizabeth Barrett Browning
I tell you, hopeless grief is passionless.
Elizabeth Barrett Browning
Death forerunneth Love to win Sweetest eyes were ever seen.
Elizabeth Barrett Browning
A woman's pity sometimes makes her mad.
