TO F - (MRS. FRANCES SARGENT OSGOOD), by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: Beloved! Amid the earnest woes
Last Line: Just o'er that one bright island smile.
Subject(s): Osgood, Frances Sargent (1811-1850); Poetry & Poets


Beloved! amid the earnest woes
That crowd around my earthly path --
(Drear path, alas! where grows
Not even one lonely rose) --
My soul at least a solace hath
In dreams of thee, and therein knows
An Eden of bland repose.

And thus thy memory is to me
Like some enchanted far-off isle
In some tumultuous sea --
Some ocean throbbing far and free
With storms -- but where meanwhile
Serenest skies continually
Just o'er that one bright island smile.
