LXXXI. SOWING AND REAPING.

Adelaide Anne Procter (b. 1825, d. 1864) was the daughter of Bryan Waller
Procter (better known as "Barry Cornwall "), a celebrated English poet,
living in London. Miss Procter's first volume, "Legends and Lyrics,"
appeared in 1858, and met with great success; it was republished in this
country. A second series, under the same name, was published in 1860; and
in 1862 both series were republished with additional poems, and an
introduction by Charles Dickens. In 1861 Miss Procter edited "Victoria
Regia," a collection of poetical pieces, to which she contributed; and in
1862 "A Chaplet of Verses," composed of her own poems, was published.
Besides these volumes, she contributed largely to various magazines and
periodicals.

Pause not for toil and pain;
Weary not through the heat of summer,
Weary not through the cold spring rain;
