The soul would have no rainbow had the eyes no tears. - [Soul] I pour into the world the eternal streams Wan prophets tent beside, and dream their dreams. - Beauty [Beauty] To set the stones back in the wall Lest the divided house should fall. The beams of peace he laid, While kings looked on, afraid. - Lincoln [Lincoln, Abraham] Unheralded, God's captain came As one that answers to his name; Nor dreamed how high his charge, His privilege how large. - Lincoln [Lincoln, Abraham] I question not if thrushes sing, If roses load the air; Beyond my heart I need not reach When all is summer there. - Love's World [Summer] A breath, whence no man knows, Swaying the grating weeds, it blows; It comes, it grieves, it goes. Once it rocked the summer rose. - Passing of Autumn [Autumn] We look through gloom and storm-drift Beyond the years: The soul would have no rainbow Hard the eyes no tears. - Tears [Tears] The message from the hedge-leaves, Heed it, whoso thou art; Under lowly eaves Lives the happy heart. - The Hedge-bird's Message [Happiness] No command of art, No toil, can help you hear; Earth's minstrelsy falls clear But on the listening heart. - The Listening Heart [Heart] The wind is awake, pretty leave, pretty leaves, Heed not what he says, he deceives, he deceives; Over and over To the lowly clover He has lisped the same love (and forgotten it, too). He will be lisping and pledging to you. - The way of it [Wind] Holding occasion by the hand, Not over nice 'twixt weed and flower, Waiving what none can understand, I make mine hour. - This My Life [Opportunity] If so men's memories not a monument be, None shalt thou have. Warm hearts, and not cold stone, Must mark thy grave, or thou shalt lie, unknown. Marbles keep not themselves; how then, keep thee? - Thy Monument [Lincoln, Abraham]
