Resolutions for the Day

This poem was later republished in Poems: Po. 32-33

The following poem was written by the Rev. Mary Baker G. Eddy in childhood, and recently appeared in the People and Patriot of Concord, N. H.

To rise in the morning and drink in the view
     Of blossoms that dwell in the vale,
And scatter their fragrance and charms ever new
     O'er hillside and flowery dale.

To gaze on the sunbeams enkindling the sky—
     A loftier life to invite—
A light that enlightens my spiritual eye,
     And inspires my pen as I write.
