Drum-Taps. Reconciliation.

When lilacs last in the door-yard bloomed,
And the great star early drooped in the western sky in the night,
I mourned, and yet shall mourn with ever-returning spring.

Memories of President Lincoln. 1.

Come lovely and soothing death,
Undulate round the world, serenely arriving, arriving,
In the day, in the night, to all, to each,
Sooner or later, delicate death.

Memories of President Lincoln. 14.

For life and joy and for objects and knowledge curious;
And for love, sweet love—But praise! O praise and praise
For the sure-enwinding arms of cool-enfolding Death.

Memories of President Lincoln. 14.

The ship has weathered every wrack, the prize we sought is won,
The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting.

Memories of President Lincoln. O Captain! my Captain!

To a Foiled European Revolutionaire.

Peace is always beautiful.

The Sleepers. 7.

What do you suppose will satisfy the soul except to walk free and own no superior?

Laws for Creations.

To me every hour of the light and dark is a miracle,
Every cubic inch of space is a miracle.

Miracles.
