Fragmentary verse on passion and grief in fading joy
A distorted poem fragment laments the wild laugh of fears and the ache of passion. It reflects on life’s grief gifting pain with pleasure, and the fleeting nature of happiness that vanishes as it is pursued.

Emigrant Family Finds Water in Western Wilderness
A wagon caravan moves through a south western forest toward water as Rosa, a seventeen year old girl, suffers a fever. Mr Osborne, Rosa's father, joins sons James and Robert in scouting ahead to locate a resting spot near a sparkling stream. They finally halt beside maple trees to make a bed for Rosa while the mother comforts her.

A Deathbed Vision in the Wilderness Tale
Rosa Osborne lies near a stream in a New England wilderness as Edgar Ashton’s promised future home and a starry vigil bind memory and song. The family endures grief, graveside rites, and a reply letter from Ashton amid a later traveler’s tale of Rosa’s grave marked by a wild rose and a sensitive plant.
