Remarks on Ethel Churchill

Sarah Sheppard

"In works of love, and these alone,How restless, how minute,"

"Then hushed be every thought that springsFrom out the bitterness of things,โ€”Her quiet is secure;No thorns can pierce her tender feet,Whose life was like the violet sweet,And like the jasmine pure.Her nature to its inmost partHad faith refined, and to her heartA peaceful cradle given,โ€”Calm as the dew-drop's, free to restWithin a breeze-fanned rose's breast,Till it exhales to heaven."Wordsworth.

'For inspiration round his head,The goddess Want her pinions spread,'
