O fateful flower beside the rill - The Daffodil, the daffodil!

You Moon! Have you done something wrong in heaven, / That God has hidden your face?

A healthful hunger for a great idea is the beauty and blessedness of life.

And old affront will stir the heart Through years of rankling pain.

Against her ankles as she trod The lucky buttercups did nod.

When sparrows build and the leaves break forth My old sorrow wakes and cries.

Her face betokened all things dear and good, The light of somewhat yet to come was there Asleep, and waiting for the opening day, When childish thoughts, like flowers would drift away.

Man is the miracle in nature. God Is the One Miracle to man.

It is not reason which makes faith hard, but life.
