2 quotes

Heaven from the hopeless doubter
The true believer makes:
Against the darkness outer
The light God's likeness takes.

The New Day (1875)

We lean on Faith; and some less wise have cried,
"Behold the butterfly, the seed that's cast!"
Vain hopes that fall like flowers before the blast!
What man can look on Death unterrified?
