Sivu 125 - There let the way appear, Steps unto heaven ; All that Thou sendest me, In mercy given : Angels to beckon me Nearer, my God, to Thee...
Sivu 82 - No, the heart that has truly loved never forgets, But as truly loves on to the close ; As the sun-flower turns on her god, when he sets, The same look which she turned when he rose.
Sivu 283 - There is no chance, no destiny, no fate, Can circumvent, or hinder, or control The firm resolve of a determined soul, Gifts count for nothing; will alone is great; All things give way before it soon or late.
