A grace within his soul hath reigned Which nothing else can bring; Thank God for all that I have gained By that high sorrowing. - [Sorrow] In reverence will w speak of those who woo The ear divine with clear and ready prayer; And while their voices cleave the Sabbath air, Know their bright thoughts are winging heavenward too. Yet many a one,--"the latchet of whose shoe" These might not loose--will often only dare Lay some poor words between him and despair-- "Father, forgive! we know not what we do." - [Prayer] My exit is the result of too many entrees. - [Last Words] Youth, that pursuest with such eager pace Thy even way, Thou pantest on to win a mournful race: Then stay! oh, stay! Pause and luxuriate in thy sunny plain; Loiter,--enjoy: Once past, thou never wilt come back again, A second Boy. - Carpe Diem [Youth] I always thought a tinge of blue Improved a charming woman's stocking. - Four Lovers (II, In Summer) [Women] That man is thought a dangerous knave, Or zealot plotting crime, Who for advancement of his kind Is wiser than his time. - attributed to Men of Old [Reputation] Grand Thoughts that never can be wearied out, Showing the unreality of Time. - Sonnet to Charles Lamb [Thought] But the beating of my own heart Was all the sound I heard. - The Brookside [Heart] I wandered by the brook-side, I wandered by the mill; I could not hear the brook flow, The noisy wheel was still. - The Brookside [Brooks] Great thoughts, great feelings, came to them, Like instincts, unawares. - The Men of Old [Instinct] A man's best things are nearest him, Lie close about his feet. - The Men of Old (st. 7) [Blessings : Life] The virtue lies In the struggle, not the prize. - The World to the Soul (9, 1) [Success : Perseverance] He who for love hath undergone The worst that can befall, Is happier thousandfold than one Who never loved at all. - To Myrzha--On Returning [Love] But on and up, where Nature's heart Beats strong amid the hills. - Tragedy of the Lac de Gaube (st. 2) [Nature]
