- THE YEAR OF SYMPATHY / / The radiant pearl which crested fortune wears / No gem that sparkling hangs from beauties ears / Nor the bright stars which nights blue arch adorn / Nor the brigt stars, which nights blue arch adonrs / Nor rising suns that gild the vernal morn / Shine with such lustre, as the tear that breaks, / For others woe down virtues manly cheeks. / Margaret Murray / Aged 12 years, 1840
