עמוד 96 - Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way ? by taking heed thereto according to thy word.
עמוד 39 - Greatness and goodness are not means, but ends ! Hath he not always treasures, always friends, The good great man ? Three treasures, love, and light, And calm thoughts regular as infant's breath : And three firm friends, more sure than day and night, Himself, his Maker, and the angel Death.
עמוד 52 - Why dost thou heap up wealth, which thou must quit, Or, what is worse, be left by it ? Why dost thou load thyself, when thou'rt to fly, Oh man, ordain'd to die ? Why dost thou build up stately rooms on high, Thou who art under ground to lie ? Thou sow'st and plantest, but no fruit must see, For death, alas ! is sowing thee.
עמוד 7 - There was a man, a wary man, Whose bosom nursed full many a plan For making life's contracted span A path of gain and gold; And how to sow, and how to reap, And how to swell his shining heap, And how the wealth acquired to keep Secure within its fold.
עמוד 16 - It is not much the world can give, With all its subtle art, And gold and gems are not the things To satisfy the heart ; But, oh ! if those who cluster round The altar and the hearth, Have gentle words, and loving smiles, How beautiful is earth.
עמוד 133 - Full many a light thought man may cherish, Full many an idle deed may do; Yet not a deed or thought shall perish, Not one but he shall bless or rue. When by the wind the tree is shaken, There's not a bough or leaf can fall, But of its falling heed is taken By One that sees and governs all. The tree may fall and be forgotten, And buried in the earth remain; Yet from its juices rank and rotten Springs vegetating life again.
