From Salon
These shall the fury Passions tear, The vultures of the mind, Disdainful Anger, pallid Fear,And Shame that skulks behind; Or pining Love shall waste their youth, Or Jealousy with rankling tooth, That inly gnaws the secret heart, And Envy wan, and faded Care, Grim-visaged comfortless Despair, And Sorrow's piercing dart.

From Scientific American
As it peals upon the ear, and sinks inly upon the heart of him whose mind is bent upon the thoughts of holy things—upon his creation, his present blessings and future hopes, he seems to hear That undisturbed song of pure content, Aye sung around the sapphire-colored throne, To him that sits thereon— Where the bright seraphim, in burning row, Their loud, uplifted angel trumpets blow; And the cherubic hosts, in thousand choirs, Touch their celestial harps of golden wires.
