Samuel Rogers
Think nothing done while aught remains to do.
Samuel Rogers
A man who attempts to read all the new productions must do as the flea does,--skip.

I came to the place of my birth and cried: The friends of my youth, where are they?--and an echo answered, Where are they?

The hour arrives, the moment wish'd and fear'd, The child is born by many a pang endear'd And now the mother's ear has caught his cry O grant the cherub to her asking eye! He comes--she clasps him. To her bosom press'd He drinks the balm of life, and drops to rest.
Samuel Rogers
I lived to write, and wrote to live.
Samuel Rogers
Man to the last is but a froward child So eager for the future, come what may, And to the present so insensible.

I am in Rome! Oft as the morning ray Visits these eyes, waking at once I cry, Whence this excess of joy? What has befallen me? And from within a thrilling voice replies, Thou art in Rome! A thousand busy thoughts Rush on my mind, a thousand images And I spring up as girt to run a race!

Samuel Rogers
Twilight's soft dews steal o'er the village-green, With magic tints to harmonize the scene. Stilled is the hum that through the hamlet broke When round the ruins of their ancient oak The peasants flocked to hear the minstrel play, And games and carols closed the busy day.
Samuel Rogers
Lull'd in the countless chambers of the brain, Our thoughts are link'd by many a hidden chain Awake but one, and lo, what myriads rise! Each stamps its image as the other flies!
Samuel Rogers
Then never less alone than when alone.
Samuel Rogers
Mine be a cot beside the hill A bee-hive's hum shall soothe my ear A willowy brook, that turns a mill, With many a fall shall linger near.
Samuel Rogers
When with care we have raised an imaginary treasure of happiness, we find at last that the materials of the structure are frail and perishing, and the foundation itself is laid in the sand.
Samuel Rogers
