Samuel Rogers
To vanish in the chinks that Time has made.
Rogers quotes
The soul of music slumbers in the shell
Till waked and kindled by the master's spell;
And feeling hearts, touch them but rightly, pour
A thousand melodies unheard before!
Rogers
The good are better made by ill,
As odours crushed are sweeter still.




Rogers Samuel quotes
Then never less alone than when alone.
Rogers Samuel
Go! you may call it madness, folly;
You shall not chase my gloom away!
There 's such a charm in melancholy
I would not if I could be gay.
Samuel Rogers quotes
Mine be a cot beside the hill;
A beehive's hum shall soothe my ear;
A willowy brook that turns a mill,
With many a fall, shall linger near.
Samuel Rogers
Ward has no heart, they say, but I deny it:
He has a heart, and gets his speeches by it.
Rogers Samuel quotes
Those that he loved so long and sees no more,
Loved and still loves,—not dead, but gone before,—
He gathers round him.
Rogers
A guardian angel o'er his life presiding,
Doubling his pleasures, and his cares dividing.
Rogers Samuel
Fireside happiness, to hours of ease
Blest with that charm, the certainty to please.
Samuel Rogers
That very law which moulds a tear
And bids it trickle from its source,—
That law preserves the earth a sphere,
And guides the planets in their course.




Samuel Rogers quotes
She was good as she was fair,
None—none on earth above her!
As pure in thought as angels are:
To know her was to love her.
Samuel Rogers
Sweet Memory! wafted by thy gentle gale,
Oft up the stream of Time I turn my sail.
