Elizabeth Barrett Browning
The soul's Rialto hath its merchandise, I barter for curl upon that mart.

O, brothers! let us leave the shame and sin Of taking vainly in a plaintive mood, The holy name of Grief--holy herein, That, by the grief of One, came all our good.
Elizabeth Barrett Browning
Very whitely still The lilies of our lives may reassure Their blossoms from their roots, accessible Alone to heavenly dews that drop not fewer Growing straight out of man's reach, on the hill. God only, who made us rich, can make us poor.
Elizabeth Barrett Browning
The least flower, with brimming cup, may stand and share its dew drop with another near.
Elizabeth Barrett Browning
