Such menial duties; but her way
Of looking at them lent a grace
To things the world deemed commonplace.

The life that neither grief nor burden knows
Is dwarfed in sympathy before its close.
The life that grows majestic with the years
Must taste the bitter tonic found in tears.

No one will grieve because your lips are dumb.

Somebody's sorrow is making me weep:
I know not her name, but I echo her cry,
For the dearly bought baby she longed so to keep,
The baby that rode to its long-lasting sleep
In the little white hearse that went rumbling by.

Life hurries past
too strong to stop;
too sweet to loose.

Live to learn, and learn to live
If you want to give men knowledge
You must get, ere you give.

When we tell about our cause,
Politicians only smile;
While they mould and make our laws,
What care they for rank or file?

Oh! what are years? A ripe three score and ten
Hold often less of life, in its best sense,
Than just a twelvemonth lived by other men,
Whose high-strung souls are ardent and intense.

Though desolate
The way may seem, command thy fate.
Send forth thy thought -
Create--CREATE!

Think your life was made for dreaming, nothing more,
When God's work lies all unfinished at your door?

With care, and skill, and cunning art, She parried Time's malicious dart, And kept the years at bay, Till passion entered in her heart and aged her in a day!

Let there be many windows to your soul, that all the glory of the world may beautify it.

And the smile that is worth the praises of earth is the smile that shines through tears

When the great universe was wrought
To might and majesty from naught,
The all creative force was -
THOUGHT.

I know that the soul is aided
Sometimes by the heart's unrest,
And to grow means often to suffer --
But whatever is--is best.
