Poems by Alaric Alexander Watts
To Octavia, the Infant Daughter of the Late John Larking, esq.
... Griefs, Hope may vainly strive to quell,â ...
The Lighthouse
... When through life's sea man's erring bark is driven, ...
A Dream, Written After the Author's Recovery from Illness
... The ârace rebelliousâ to âcombustion downâ ...
A Woman's Last Song. - From an Unpublished Romance
... And night's shades are o'erwhelming my heart and my song ...
The Avalanche
... now rolled From yon steep slopeâby whomâwhat mortal may unfold ...
The Death of Pompey the Great
... But leave one task unchangedâto suffer and to die ...
A Christmas Song
... With loved ones near, good friends, good cheer, ...

... âFor me the meanest, simplest flowers that blow, ...
Meet Me At Sunset
... And, with hand clasped in hand, we sat spell-bound, and deemed ...
On the Death of a Young Friend, of Fever, at Laguira
... And safe from the buffeting waves of the world, ...
I Will Never Love Thee More
... Touch some truthful bosom's core, ...
I've roamed the wide world over,
... Whate'er her height, hair dark or light, ...
Music
... â Joy's sparkling eye in tears to steep, ...
On The Death Of A Child
... To strife thy gentlest thoughts had stirred! ...
A Remonstrance, Addressed to a Friend Who Complained of Being Alone in the World
... - Though earth-born love, its tears and truth, ...
