  'The Cry of the Children' (1844) st. 1

• I love thee with the passion put to use
  In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
  I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
  With my lost saints,-I love thee with the breath,
  Smiles, tears, of all my life!-and, if God choose,
  I shall but love thee better after death.

  Sonnets from the Portuguese no. 43 (1850)

• As the moths around a taper,
  As the bees around a rose,
  As the gnats around a vapour,
  So the spirits group and close
  Round about a holy childhood, as if drinking its repose.
