Harriet Presott Spofford 1835- ? John Bartlett

    The awful phantom of the hungry poor.
          Sonnet. A Winter’s Night.

    Ah, happy world, where all things live
  Creatures of one great law, indeed;
Bound by strong roots, the splendid flower,—
  Swept by great seas, the drifting seed!
          The Story of the Flower.

    A place of dream, the Holy Land
  Hangs midway between earth and heaven.
          The Holy Land.

    Beauty vanishes like a vapor,
  Preach the men of musty morals.
          Evanescence.
