More from Richard Monckton Milnes, 1st Baron Houghton Houghton

  1. A poet's Mistress is a hallowed thing.
  2. They who have steeped their souls in prayer Can every anguish calmly bear.
  3. Heaven was not Heaven if Phaon was not there.
  4. Lady Moon, Lady Moon, where are you roving? Over the sea. Lady Moon, Lady Moon, whom are you loving? All that love me!
  5. Oh glory, that we wrestle So valiantly with Time!
  6. The hills of manhood wear a noble face When seen from far; The mist of light from which they take their grace Hides what they are.
  7. The beating of my own heart Was all the sound I heard.
  8. I wandered by the brookside, I wandered by the mill; I could not hear the brook flow, The noisy wheel was still.
