หน้า 19 - When we were children we thought as children. But now there lies before us manhood, with its earnest work : and then old age, and then the grave, and then home.
หน้า 29 - If the querulous heart would wake it! To the sunny soul that is full of hope, And whose beautiful trust ne'er faileth, The grass is green and the flowers are bright, Though the wintry storm prevaileth.
