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

The lotos bowed above the tide and dreamed.

Old Song and New (1870)

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

Old Song and New (1870)

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!
