• Love loves for ever,
  And finds a sort of joy in pain,
  And gives with nought to take again,
  And loves too well to end in vain:
  Is the gain small then?
  Love laughs at "never",
  Outlives our life, exceeds the span
  Appointed to mere mortal man:
  All which love is and does and can
  Is all in all then.

• January cold and desolate;
  February dripping wet;
  March wind ranges;
  April changes;
  Birds sing in tune
  To flowers of May,
  And sunny June
  Brings longest day;
  In scorched July
  The storm-clouds fly,
  Lightning-torn;
  August bears corn,
  September fruit;
  In rough October
  Earth must disrobe her;
  Stars fall and shoot
  In keen November;
  And night is long
  And cold is strong
  In bleak December.

  My heart within me like a stone
  Is numb'd too much for hopes or fears;

  No everlasting hills I see;
  My life is in the falling leaf:
  O Jesus, quicken me.

  As with the flower;
  Blooming on its own tree
  For butterfly and bee
  Its summer morns:

  A rose in spite of thorns.

  As birds' that soar
  Rejoicing in the sun:
  That when my time is run
  And daylight too,
  I so might rest once more
  Cool with refreshing dew.
