Pagina 49 - Let me but do my work from day to day In field or forest, at the desk or loom, In roaring market place or tranquil room ; Let me but find it in my heart to say, When vagrant wishes beckon me astray, "This is my work ; my blessing, not my doom. Of all who live, I am the only one by whom This work can best be done in the right way.
Pagina 105 - Time is Too Slow for those who Wait, Too Swift for those who Fear, Too Long for those who Grieve, Too Short for those who Rejoice; But for those who Love, Time is not.
Pagina 75 - WHO will walk a mile with me Along life's merry way? A comrade blithe and full of glee, Who dares to laugh out loud and free, And let his frolic fancy play, Like a happy child, through the flowers gay That fill the field and fringe the way Where he walks a mile with me.
Pagina 100 - TJOT to the swift, the race: Not to the strong, the fight: Not to the righteous, perfect grace : Not to the wise, the light. But often faltering feet Come surest to the goal ; And they who walk in darkness meet The sunrise of the soul.

Pagina 50 - Let me but live my life from year to year, With forward face and unreluctant soul, Not hastening to, nor turning from, the goal; Not mourning for the things that disappear In the dim past, nor holding back in fear From what the future veils; but with a whole And happy heart, that pays its toll To Youth and Age, and travels on with cheer...
Pagina 43 - These are the sins I fain Would have thee take away: Malice, and cold disdain, Hot anger, sullen hate, Scorn of the lowly, envy of the great, And discontent that casts a shadow gray On all the brightness of the common day.
Pagina 82 - PRAYER FOR A MOTHER'S BIRTHDAY Lord Jesus, Thou hast known A mother's love and tender care: And Thou wilt hear, while for my own Mother most dear I make this birthday prayer. Protect her life, I pray, Who gave the gift of life to me; And may she know, from day to day, The deepening glow of Life that comes from Thee.
Pagina 52 - THE GARDEN When to the garden of untroubled thought I came of late, and saw the open door, And wished again to enter and explore The sweet, wild ways with stainless bloom inwrought, And bowers of innocence with beauty fraught. It seemed some purer voice must speak before I dared to tread the garden, loved of yore.
Pagina 75 - That fill the field and fringe the way Where he walks a mile with me. And who will walk a mile with me Along life's weary way? A friend whose heart has eyes to see The stars shine out o'er the darkening lea, And the quiet rest at the end o...
