How shall I a habit break? As you did that habit make, As you gathered, you must lose; As you yielded, now refuse, Thread by thread the strands we twist Till they bind us neck and wrist, Thread by thread the patient hand Must untwine ere free we stan. -John Boyle O'reilly

The world is large, when its weary leagues two loving hearts divide; But the world is small, when your enemy is loose on the other side.

''You gave me the key of your heart, my love; then why did you make me knock?'' Oh that was yesterday, saints above! And last night -- I changed the lock!

John Boyle O'reilly

And a toiler dies in a day.
