Ships that pass in the night, and speak each other in passing, Only a signal shown, and a distant voice in the darkness; So on the ocean of life, we pass and speak one another, Only a look and a voice, then darkness again and a silence
Silently one by one, in the infinite meadows of heaven, Blossomed the lovely stars, the forget-me-nots of the angels
Singing the Hundredth Psalm, the grand old Puritan anthem.
Sit in reverie, and watch the changing color of the waves that break upon the idle seashore of the mind
Sleep... Oh! how I loathe those little slices of death....
Some men must follow, and some command, though all are made of clay
Something attempted, something done, Has earned a nights repose.
Sometimes we may learn more from a man's errors, than from his virtues
Sorrow and silence are strong, and patient endurance is godlike.
