There paused to shut the door
A fellow called the Wind,
With mystery before,
And reticence behind.

More quotes by Bliss Carman

The greatest joy in nature is the absence of man.

The glad indomitable sea,
The strong white sun.

Here's to the day when it is May
And care as light as a feather,
When your little shoes and my big boots
Go tramping over the heather.

When promise and patience are wearing thin,
When endurance is almost driven in,
When our angels stand in a waiting hush,
Remember the Marne and Ferdinand Foch.

From purple glory to scarlet pomp
