“The heart of God through his creation stirs, We thrill to feel it, trembling as the flowers That die to live again, his messengers, To keep faith firm in these sad souls of ours. The waves of Time may devastate our lives, The frosts of age may check our failing breath, They shall not touch the spirit that survives Triumphant over doubt and pain and death.” FeelsHeartMaySoulAgePainSpiritDiesDoubtOur LivesFailingCreationFlowerBreathsWaveChecksFirmThrillTremblingFrostMessengersTriumphantKeep The FaithSad Soul Book:Poems Source: Poems
“Life's sunniest hours are not without The shadow of some lingering doubt-- Amid its brightest joys will steal Spectres of evil yet to feel-- Its warmest love is blent with fears, Its confidence a trembling one-- Its smile--the harbinger of tears-- Its hope--the change of April's sun! A weary lot--in mercy given, To fit the chastened soul for heaven.” FeelsSoulJoyEvilGivenHeavenHoursLove IsSunDoubtTearsFitShadowMercyStealingWearyAprilTremblingLingeringHarbingerSpectre Author:John Greenleaf Whittier
