MARGARET JUNKIN PRESTON
American poet
(1820 - 1897)

O Nature, gracious mother of us all,
  Within thy bosom myriad secrets lie
    Which thou surrenderest to the patient eye
      That seeks and waits.
      - [Nature]

The pure memories given
  To help our joy on earth, when earth is past
    Shall help our joy in heaven.
      - [Memory]

Gracious as sunshine, sweet as dew
  Shut in a lily's golden core.
      - Agnes [Lilies]

Pain is no longer pain when it is past.
      - Old Songs and New--Nature's Lesson [Pain]

Whoso lives the holiest life
  Is fittest far to die.
      - Ready [Holiness]

The lotos bowed above the tide and dreamed.
      - Rhodope's Sandal [Lotuses]

White as the blossoms with the almond tree,
  Above its bald and leafless branches bears.
      - The Royal Preacher [Almonds]
