1. To F... S S. O... D (To Frances S. Osgood)

Would’st thou be loved? then let thy heart 

From its present pathway part not — 

Be every thing which now thou art 

And nothing which thou art not: 

  

So with the world thy gentle ways, 

And unassuming beauty 

Shall be a constant theme of praise, 

And love — a duty.
