Ah, don't be sorrowful, darling,
And don't be sorrowful, pray;
Taking the year together, my dear,
There isn't more night than day.

More quotes by Alice Cary

We serve Him most who take the most of His exhaustless love.

How many lives we live in one,
And how much less than one, in all.

Life's Mysteries; reported in Hoyt's New Cyclopedia Of Practical Quotations (1922)

Yea, when mortality dissolves,
Shall I not meet thine hour unawed?
My house eternal in the heavens
Is lighted by the smile of God!

My soul is full of whispered song,—
My blindness is my sight;
The shadows that I feared so long
Are full of life and light.

Desolate—Life is so dreary and desolate—
Women and men in the crowd meet and mingle,
Yet with itself every soul standeth single,
Deep out of sympathy moaning its moan—
Holding and having its brief exultation—
Making its lonesome and low lamentation—
Fighting its terrible conflicts alone.
