For he who is honest is noble, Whatever his fortunes or birth. - [Nobility] The milk-white lilies that lean from the fragrant hedge. - [Flowers] Ah, don't be sorrowful darling, And don't be sorrowful, pray: Taking the year together, my dear, There isn't more night than day. - Don't be Sorrowful, Darling [Sorrow] The berries of the brier rose Have lost their rounded pride: The bitter-sweet chrysanthemums Are drooping heavy-eyed. - Faded Leaves [Flowers] Desolate--Life is so dreary and desolate-- Women and men in the crowd meet and mingle, Yet with itself every soul standeth single, Deep out of sympathy moaning its moan-- Holding and having its brief exultation-- Making its lonesome and low lamentation-- Fighting its terrible conflicts alone. - Life [Desolation] How many lives we live in one, And how much less than one, in all. - Life's Mysteries [Life] 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. - Lover's Diary [Dreams : Fishermen] 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. - Work [Work]
