There's no dew left on the daisies and clover; there's no rain left in heaven.

I have lived life long enough to thank God that all my prayers have not been answered

I have lived to thank God that all my prayers have not been answered.

I am glad to think I am not bound to make the world go right, but only to discover and to do, with cheerful heart, the work that God appoints.

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

I am athirst for God, the living God.

Youth! youth! how buoyant are thy hopes! they turn, like marigolds, toward the sunny side.
