Excerpt from Simplicity Unveiled: Poems
Having been visited by sore affliction at so early a period of her life, she was denied the opportunities of an education such as her ambition and talents would certainly have demanded; hence, there is no assumption of classic elegance, and no claim to scholarly erudition urged to recommend her simple, chaste and spiritual songs. The knowledge she has gained, and the information she possesses, have been acquired by friction with other minds, by the exercise Of the powers Of observation, and calling into activity faculties which happily yet remain with her.
Her poetry is characterized by an intense feeling, grace and simplicity that gush from an innocent and sympathetic heart, attuned to the music and melodies of the world.
