Letitia Elizabeth Landon (Летиция Элизабет Лэндон)

The Power of Words

'Tis a strange mystery, the power of words!
Life is in them, and death. A word can send
The crimson colour hurrying to the cheek,
Hurrying with many meanings; or can turn
The current cold and deadly to the heart.
Anger and fear are in them; grief and joy
Are on their sound; yet slight, impalpable:—
A word is but a breath of passing air. 

1. Sonnet (It is not in the day of revelry)
2. Answer to —
3. Fragment (Is not this grove)
4. The Sheperd Boy
5. The Reply of the Fountain
