Page iii - So should we live, that every Hour May die as dies the natural flower, — A self-reviving thing of power ; That every Thought and every Deed May hold within itself the seed Of future good, and future meed ; Esteeming Sorrow, whose employ Is to develop not destroy, Far better than a barren Joy.
Page 281 - TEACH me, my God and King, In all things Thee to see, And what I do in anything, To do it as for Thee...
Page 130 - If you have no power of giving: An arm of aid to the weak, A friendly hand to the friendless, Kind words, so short to speak, But whose echo is endless: The world is wide, — these things are small, They may be nothing, but they are All.
