Great faith it needs, according to my view,
To trust in that which never could be true.

More quotes by Park Benjamin Sr.

And, like some low and mournful spell,
To whisper but one word—farewell!

He loved his kind, but sought the love of few,
And valued old opinions more than new.

The mountain rill
Seeks with no surer flow the far bright sea,
Than my unchang'd affections flow to thee.

Flowers are Love's truest language.

Nigh to a grave that was newly made,
Leaned a sexton old on his earth-worn spade.
