“Wanderer's Storm Song / If thou dost not desert me, Genius, / Neither Rain, nor Storm / Can bring terror to my heart / If thou wilt not desert me, Genius / I will sing to the rain-cloud / To the hail-storm / Like the lark / There aloft.”

Fuller, Margaret. "Notebook 1840." Houghton Library, Harvard University; bMS Am 1086; Box 3.
