Rock me to sleep, reported in Bartlett's Familiar Quotations, 10th ed. (1919).

“Behold, we live through all things,—famine, thirst,
Bereavement, pain; all grief and misery,
All woe and sorrow; life inflicts its worst
On soul and body,—but we can not die,
Though we be sick and tired and faint and worn,—
Lo, all things can be borne!”

Endurance, reported in Bartlett's Familiar Quotations, 10th ed. (1919).

“Backward, flow backward, O tide of the years!
I am so weary of toil and of tears,—
Toil without recompense, tears all in vain!
Take them, and give me my childhood again!”
