Who knows but the world may end tonight

I am grown peaceful as old age tonight.

Once more on my adventure brave and new.

Again the Cousin's whistle! Go, my Love.

When is man strong until he feels alone?

I do what many dream of, all their lives

Grow old with me! The best is yet to be.

Any nose may ravage with impunity a rose.

Lofty designs must close in like effects.

A pretty woman's worth some pains to see.

'Tis an awkward thing to play with souls.

No work begun shall ever pause for death.

Our aspirations are our responsibilities.

Of what I call God, And fools call Nature.

Other heights in other lives, God willing.

The past is gained, secure, and on record.

Motherhood: All love begins and ends there.

Stung by the splendour of a sudden thought.

O world, as God has made it! All is beauty.

Every one soon or late comes round by Rome.

Good strong thick stupefying incense-smoke!

He guides me and the bird. In His good time!

Death was past, life not come: so he waited.

Best be yourself, imperial, plain, and true.

What joy is better than the news of friends?

Oh, to be in England now that April's there.

Since there my past life lies, why alter it?

Men are not angels, neither are they brutes.

Earth being so good, would heaven seem best?

Oh never star Was lost here but it rose afar.

The great mind knows the power of gentleness.

Where the heart lies, let the brain lie also.

Such ever was love's way: to rise, it stoops.

Believeth with the life, the pain shall stop.

I show you doubt, to prove that faith exists.

God! Thou art love! I build my faith on that.

A minute of success pays for years of failure.

Night conceals a world but reveals a universe.

What I aspired to be and was not, comforts me.

When the liquor's out, why clink the cannikin?

Earth changes, but thy soul and God stand sure.

What a thing friendship is - World without end.

'Tis well averred, A scientific faith's absurd.

Lost, lost! one moment knelled the woe of years.

The world and life's too big to pass for a dream

One wise man's verdict outweighs all the fools'.

Measure your mind's height by the shade it casts.

God is in his Heaven, all's right with the world.

Man seeks his own good at the whole world's cost.

What Youth deemed crystal, Age finds out was dew.
