war broken heaven
There must be room for penitence to mend Life's broken chance; else noise of wars would unmake heaven.
love-you love-is men
He who loves best his fellow-man, is loving God the holiest way he can....
men soul crowds
Women and men in the crowd meet and mingle, Yet with itself every soul standeth single.
dream done fisherman
The fisher droppeth his net in the stream, And a hundred streams are the same as one; And the maiden dreameth her love-lit dream; And what is it all, when all is done? The net of the fisher the burden breaks, And always the dreaming the dreamer wakes.
work heart men
With hand on the spade and heart in the sky Dress the ground and till it; Turn in the little seed, brown and dry, Turn out the golden millet. Work, and your house shall be duly fed: Work, and rest shall be won; I hold that a man had better be dead Than alive when his work is done.
splits way impossible
The attempt is all the wedge that splits its knotty way betwixt the impossible and possible.
We serve Him most who take the most of His exhaustless love.
dream kindness men
True worth is in being, not seeming- In doing, each day that goes by, Some little good, not in the dreaming Of great things to do by and by. For whatever men say in their blindness, And spite of the fancies of youth, There's nothing so kingly as kindness, And nothing so royal as truth.
life
How many lives we live in one, And how much less than one, in all.
song light sight
My soul is full of whispered song,-My blindness is my sight;The shadows that I feared so longAre full of life and light.
wall grief garden
Even for the dead I will not bind my soul to grief, death cannot long divide; for is it not as if the rose that climbed my garden wall had bloomed the other side?
kindness royal
There's nothing so kingly as kindness, And nothing so royal as truth.
