Rules and Lessons

When first thy eyes unveil, give thy soul leaveTo do the like; our bodies but forerunThe spirit's duty.

Reply to "If We Knew."

If we felt the bitter anguishThat our thoughts and words have sentTo the brother we are judging,The cruel bow might be unbent.
You never can tell what a thought can doIn bringing you hate or love,For thoughts are things, and their airy wingsAre swifter than carrier doves.

Sunshine

Brightly beams the morning sunshine, Rolling o'er the eastern hills, Tingeing ferns and brakes with brightness, Clustered round the mountain rills.
WHATE'ER thou dost, do well—it may not stand An hour, it may for centuries endure; But thou shalt have performed thy Lord's command, And thy reward shall be forever sure.

Transitions

Out of the noisy tumult,Out of the fevered heat,Out of grewsome fancies,Out of self-hood's cheat.
