Dedication

The Vale in Adversity

The Deaf and Dumb Boy

Sweet Dweller of the Valleys

The Solitary

The Brook

The same

Heed not a world

The good, they drop around us

Poverty

Affluence

Oh, talk not of her eye's ethereal blue

Angels of peace be o'er you

I stood between the dying and the dead

His spirit hath gone forth to regions blest

How beautiful the host

These are but gleams
