6 quotes
But I believe that God is overhead;
And as life is to the living, so death is to the dead.
Along the Way (1879)
Whenever a snow-flake leaves the sky,
It turns and turns to say "Good-bye!
Good-by, dear cloud, so cool and gray!"
Then lightly travels on its way.
Along the Way (1879)
Life is a mystery as deep as ever death can be;
Yet oh, how dear it is to us, this life we live and see!
Along the Way (1879)
But when a snow-flake, brave and meek,
Lights on a rosy maiden's cheek,
It starts—"How warm and soft the day!"
"'Tis summer!" and it melts away.
Along the Way (1879)
She waits for me; my lady Earth,
Smiles and waits and sighs;
I'll say her nay, and hide away,
Then take her by surprise.
For ever and ever, my darling, yes—
Goodness and love are undying;
Only the troubles and cares of earth
Are winged from the first for flying.
Our way we plough
In the furrow "now;"
But after the tilling and growing the sheaf;
Soil for the root, but the sun for the leaf—
And God keepeth watch forever.
