After long absence, of return
To my dear home — Oh, happiness!
To lie in blissful consciousness
Of all around: The picture there —
The books — the flower-glass filled with care
By a kind hand — And then to know,
'Twas but to rise, and meet below
Such a heart's welcome!

Caroline Anne Southey

How happily, how happily, the flowers die away!
Oh! Could we but return to earth as easily as they.
