IMPATIENCE. 



With fierce distracted eye Impatiens stands, 

 Swells her pale cheeks, and brandishes her hands; 

 With rajje and hate the astonished grove alarms, 

 And hurls her infants from her frantic arms.

SENTIMENT. 



There are some things I cannot bear, 



Some looks which rouse my angry hate, 

 Some hearts whose love I would not share, 



Till earth and heaven wore desolate. 

 1 cannot hear to be with men 



Who only see my weaknesses; 

 Who know not what I might have been, 



Hut scan my spirit as it is: 

 And when my heart would gush with feeling 



To catch one kind, one sunny look, 

 When lore would be a leaf of healing, 



But scorn a thing I will not brook 

 Oh, it is hard to put the heart 



Alone and desolate away, 

 To curl the lip, in pride, and part 



With the kind thoughts of yesterday. 

 Tis strange they know not that the chill 



Of their own looks hath made me cold; 

 What though my words fall seldom, still 



Their own proud bearing hath controlled 

 My better feelings. They forget 



I have a heart of kindness yet.
