Lizzie E Palmer Poems

How oft happy homes are despoiled by the foe
Whose ravages fill the fond circle with woe-
...

I first promise that in this home,
Jehovah's loved and feared-
His law so holy, just and good,
Is constantly revered.
...

I for a subject asked one day,
A friend whose locks with age were grey,
He gave me one without delay,
...

Fair Nature here most lavishly has given
Abundance to this Indian Ocean Isle,
And woods and mountains, hills and valleys green,
...

In the crowded hall they listened
To the welcome, warm and free,
Which New England's sons extended,
...

Canst thou tell us lovely stranger,
Of that far-famed sunny clime,
Where the pyramids so stately
Stand like 'Sentinels of time?'
...

Amid the frigid regions of the North,
The frost King reigns with undisputed sway,
The Icebergs huge and tall, grim sentry keep,
...
