Seite 79 - Over the shoulders and slopes of the dune I saw the white daisies go down to the sea, A host in the sunshine, an army in June, The people God sends us to set our hearts free. The bobolinks rallied them up from the dell, The orioles whistled them out of the wood; And all of their singing was, "Earth, it is well!
Seite 89 - Thy hand has graced him. Nestled at his root Is beauty, such as blooms not in the glare Of the broad sun.
