“The goldenrod is yellow,
The corn is turning brown…
The trees in apple orchards
With fruit are bending down.”

“Bee to the blossom, moth to the flame; Each to his passion; what's in a name?”

“The woman who creates and sustains a home, and under whose hands children grow up to be strong and pure men and women, is a creator second only to God.”

“On the king’s gate the moss grew gray;
The king came not. They called him dead
And made his eldest son one day
Slave in his father’s stead.”

“And every bird I ever knew
Back and forth in the summer flew;
And breezes wafted over me
The scent of every flower and tree:
Till I forgot the pain and gloom
And silence of my darkened room”

“Father, I scarcely dare to pray,
So clear I see, now it is done,
How I have wasted half my day,
And left my work but just begun.”

“All lost things are in the angels' keeping, Love;
No past is dead for us, but only sleeping, Love.”

“The voice of one who goes before, to make
The paths of June more beautiful, is thine
Sweet May!”

“Like a blind spinner in the sun,
I tread my days:
I know that all the threads will run
Appointed ways.
I know each day will bring its task,
And being blind no more I ask.”
