Visitation at God's Acre as May Night Weeps
A reflective meditation on a village graveyard called God's Acre in Kenosha Wisconsin from June 1855. The piece recalls a beloved young woman Martha who fell to the rocks above the mill, her violet plucked at her verge. It laments memory and mortality, mourning the silent graves and the enduring ties of community amid the serene May landscape.

A Story of Olden Time and a Miser’s Change
An elderly New York merchant Hermann Brinkerhoff dominates his household and treats his son Nicholas with harsh credit demands. Nicholas marries against his father and dies, prompting a surreal ascent of portraits. The living son reappears from a painting, reversing fate, and transforming the father into a generous Knickerbocker.
