• God, make me brave for life: oh, braver than this. Let me straighten after pain, As a tree straightens after the rain, Shining and lovely again. God, make me brave for life; much braver than this. As the blown grass lifts, let me rise From sorrow with quiet eyes, Knowing Thy way is wise. God, make me brave, life brings Such blinding things. Help me to keep my sight; Help me to see aright That out of dark comes light.

• Girl with the burning golden eyes,
  And red-bird song, and snowy throat:
  I bring you gold and silver moons,
  And diamond stars, and mists that float.
  I bring you moons and snowy clouds,
  I bring you prarie skies to-night
  To feebly praise your golden eyes
  And red-bird song, and throat so white.
  ~Vachel Lindsay "To Gloriana"
  God wrote His loveliest poem on the day
  He made the first silver poplar tree,
  And set it high upon a pale-gold hill
  For all the new enchanted earth to see.
