Land, by the oceans passed
Transport — by throe —
Peace, by its battles told —
Love, by memorial Mold —
Birds, by the snow.

Manuscript: About 1859, in packet 7 (H 28b).

She replied in her letter of July 1862 that she had none: It often alarms Father -- He says Death might occur, and he has Molds of all the rest -- but has no Mold of me.
