White as the blossoms which the almond-tree,
Above its bald and leafless branches bears.

The lotos bowed above the tide and dreamed.

Old Song and New (1870)

Gracious as sunshine, sweet as dew
Shut in a lily's golden core.

Pain is no longer pain when it is past.

Old Song and New (1870)

With guilt's defilement stained without, within,
How can I hope Thy cleansing grace to win?
—Because Thou saidst, "I have forgiven thy sin."

[T]he pure memories given
To help our joy on earth, when earth is past,
Shall help our joy in heaven!
