“Unwearied, and with springing steps elate, I had conveyed my wealth along the road. The empty sack proved now a heavier load: I was borne down beneath its worthless weight. I stumbled on, and knocked at Death's dark gate. There was no answer. Stung by sorrow's goad I forced my way into that grim abode, And laughed, and flung Life's empty sack to Fate.” WayWealthDarkAnswersStepsFateSadnessSorrowSadEmptyWeightMy WayGatesLaughedLoadWorthlessGrimAbode Book:Leafs On An Idle Breeze - My Inspirational Poems (Annotated Edition) Source: Leafs On An Idle Breeze - My Inspirational Poems (Annotated Edition)

“Better to me the poor mans crust, Better the blessing of the poor, Though I turn me empty from his door; That is no true alms which the hand can hold; He gives nothing but worthless gold Who gives from a sense of duty; But he who gives a slender mite, And gives to that which is out of sight, That thread of the all-sustaining Beauty Which runs through all and doth all unite, - The hand cannot clasp the whole of his alms, The heart outstretches its eager palms, For a god goes with it and makes it store To the soul that was starving in darkness before.” GivingHeartSoulWholeHandsRunningTurnsPoorDarknessDoorsDutyBlessingEmptyGoldSightStoresThreadWorthlessPalmsStarvingSustainingSlenderAlmsTurn Me Author:James Russell Lowell
