Three Little Rules

Three little rules we all should keepTo make life happy and bright—Smile in the morning; smile at noon;And keep on smiling at night!

A Prayer

O Master, let me walk with theeIn lowly paths of service free;Tell me thy secret; help me bearThe strain of toil, the fret of care.

The Echo

A Thundering tone, hard driven down a glen,Broke on the granite at a mountain's feet,And tremulous, and soft and lowly, thenReturned, a finished echo, pure and sweet.

Heart's Ease

OF all things good on earth I am most sought, And yet, albeit, I am rarely found; I cannot be with countless millions bought, And bootless ye may search earth's farthest bound.

My Refuge

HARD pressed on every hand, Yet not dismayed.

Memory of Good Deeds

The memory of good deeds will ever stay, A lamp to light us on the darkened way, A music to the ear on clamoring street, A cooling well amid the noonday heat.
I am not earth-born.

The Bells

Ring out, wild bells, to the wild sky,The flying cloud, the frosty light:The year is dying in the night;Ring out, wild bells, and let him die.
