The Fields of Bow

Broad, rock-terraced fields of Bow,Spread with rugs of springlike hue,Held close in heaven's arch of blue,No fairer place dear God doth showTo all earth's wondering pilgrim eyesThat, weeping, search for hidden goodOn breezy crag, in forest's wood;Heaven's own path within you lies.

Usefulness

Can I help my neighbor any,While I'm thinking thoughts of fear?

Words

Words, words, words; multiplicity of words and nothing said: In vain we strive to voice the woes o'er which our hearts have bled,

Christian Science

'Tis the trail of the open vision,The road of our hearts' behest,It stretches away before us,Into an active rest.

Man

O man, thou radiant likeness,Noble, pure, forever perfectImage of God,Serene, though dark'ning clouds o'erspreadAnd thunders shake the universe,—Thy thoughts are free.

Healing

Long had seemed the seekingFor peace and perfect health;The care and pain still lingered,Midst others' joy and wealth.
