Additional quotes by Ann Eliza Bleecker

How shall I leave thee, oh! my love, And blooming progeny? If I without thee mount above,
'Twill be no heav'n to me.

There give thy griefs full vent to flow O'er the unconscious dead, With no spectator to thy woe
But my attendant shade.

Come Grief, and sing a solemn dirge Beneath this midnight shade; From central darkness now emerge,
And tread the lonely glade.

Though such the darkness of my soul, Not such the calmness there; But waves of guilt tumultuous roll 'Midst billows of despair. - Ann Eliza Bleecker
