Not only in the cataract and the thunder
Or in the deeps of man's uncharted soul,
But in the dew-star dwells alike the wonder
And in the whirling dust-mite the control.
--Charles G. D. Roberts.
'Tis greatly wise to talk with our past hours
And ask them what report they bore to heaven.
--Edward Young.
A governed heart, thinking no thought but good,
Makes crowded houses holy solitude.
--Edwin Arnold.
But where will God be absent; in his face
Is light, and in his shadow healing, too.
--Robert Browning.
And good may ever conquer ill,
Health walk where pain has trod;
"As a man thinketh, so is he";
Rise, then, and think with God.
God is law, say the wise; O Soul, and let us rejoice,
For, if He thunder by law, the thunder is yet his voice.
--Alfred Tennyson.
Whatever road I take, it joins the street
Which leadeth all who walk it thee to meet.
O work thy works in God.
He can rejoice in naught
Save only in himself
And what himself hath wrought.
To live, to live, is life's great joy; to feel
The living God within--to look abroad,
And, in the beauty that all things reveal,
Still meet the living God.
--Robert Leighton.
