I do not ask that flowers should always spring
Beneath my feet
I know too well the poison and the sting
Of things too sweet.

A Chaplet of Verses (1862)

Joy is like restless day; but peace divine
Like quiet night;
Lead me, O Lord, — till perfect Day shall shine
Through Peace to Light.

A Chaplet of Verses (1862)

I do not ask, O Lord, that life may be
A pleasant road.
I do not ask that Thou wouldst take from me
Aught of its load
