Silence 'tis awe decrees.

I trust in Nature for the stable laws Of beauty and utility. Spring shall plant And Autumn garner to the end of time. I trust in God,-the right shall be the right And other than the wrong, while he endures. I trust in my own soul, that can perceive The outward and the inward,-Nature's good And God's.

Grow old with me! The best is yet to be.

Go practice if you please with men and women: leave a child alone for Christ's particular love's sake!

Say not "a small event!" Why "small"? Costs it more pain that this ye call A "great event" should come to pass From that? Untwine me from the mass Of deeds which make up life, one deed Power shall fall short in or exceed!

Aspire, break bounds. Endeavor to be good, and better still, best.

Thought is the soul of act.
