Poems by Louisa Stuart Costello
Song.Thy form was fair
... Thy form, thy voice, thine eyes are now ...
The Adieu
... As the vows they breathed in that lone retreat ...
The Hunter of the Uruguay to his Love
... Thou shalt mark the ounce in his leafy shade, ...
Song of the Crew of Diaz
... On the Discovery of the Cape of Good Hope, ...
The Destroying Spirit
... I dwell where tempests are loud and dread ...
To a False Friend
... Thou, the first friend my heart had chosen ...
The Indian Cupid
... But long have I lingered, and watch'd in vain, ...
Song.Oh, had I ne'er beheld thee
... Shall ne'er be cloudless more ...
Lines.When this heart is cold and still
... Which the breeze will murmur over: ...
Song.Since thou wilt banish me
... I thought the world from falsehood free ...
Spirit's Song
... 'Twas the night-bird's tone, but it smote my ear, ...
Song.In early days
... That knows no dread, that feels no care, ...
Lines. "Why look'd I on that fatal line?"
... Was fraught with aught but pain to me ...
The Past
... pain, And ' tis only recollection can give back the soul again! ...
Song.I will not ask
... Lest, fondly, I should linger yet, ...
