The trivial round, the common task, / Would furnish all we ought to ask; / Room to deny ourselves, a road / To bring us, daily, nearer God.
The voice that breathed o'er Eden, / That earliest wedding day.
As fire kindled by fire, so is the poet's mind kindled by contact with a brother poet.
Be every mourner's sleep tonight / Like infant's slumbers, pure and light.
New every morning is the love / Our wakening and uprising prove.
If the Church of England were to fail, it would be found in my parish.
We need not bid, for cloistered cell, / Our neighbour and our work farewell. / Nor strive to wind ourselves too high / For sinful man beneath the sky.
