Quotes

• “But I believe that God is overhead;And as life is to the living, so death is to the dead.”
• “For ever and ever, my darling, yes—Goodness and love are undying;Only the troubles and cares of earthAre winged from the first for flying.Our way we ploughIn the furrow "now;"But after the tilling and growing the sheaf;Soil for the root, but the sun for the leaf—And God keepeth watch forever.”
• “Whenever a snow-flake leaves the sky,It turns and turns to say "Good-bye!Good-by, dear cloud, so cool and gray!"Then lightly travels on its way.”
