THE HEART’S DESIRE
nature-taught.
It may indeed be phantasy, when I Essay to draw from all created things Deep, heartfelt, inward joy that closely clings; And trace in leaves and flowers that round me lie Lessons of love and earnest piety. So let it be; and if the wide world rings In mock of this belief,it brings Not fear, nor grief, nor vain perplexity. —S. T. Coleridge. * ■ * * * Remember—The man who would take an unfair advantage of an enemy, cannot be trusted as a friend. * * * * There was a wise man in the East whose constant prayer was that he might see to-day with the eyes of to-morrow. * -x- -x- -xOnly be steadfast, never waver, Nor seek earth’s favor, But rest; Thou knowest what God wills must be For all his creatures, so for thee The best. —Paul Fleming.
