• Text: Romantic Race! blithe tenants of the Wild, / Methinks your heritage and portion fair, / How have I longed when but a laughing child to breathe like you the fragrant air - / Yours are the lonely caves - the forest bowers - / Glens of dark grandeur, vales of sunny light, / And Fairy-like ye sleep amongst the flowers, / While birds last warblings sing a sweet good night.
• Location: Above illustration
• Method of creation: Black ink

• Text: Yet what is Nature, if the darkened eye / Can catch no glimpse of love invisible, / If on the evening breezes, dying sigh / No voices come of matchless grace to tell - / Oh, what is earth! a vale of sunless gloom / Even this fair world - an ornamental tomb.
