William Dean Howells. (1837–1920)

We live, but a world has passed away
With the years that perished to make us men.

The Mulberries.

Lord, for the erring thought
Not into evil wrought:
Lord, for the wicked will
Betrayed and baffled still:
For the heart from itself kept,
Our thanksgiving accept.

Thanksgiving.

    Her mouth is a honey-blossom,
  No doubt, as the poet sings;
But within her lips, the petals,
  Lurks a cruel bee that stings.

The sarcastic Fair.
