Oh you who weep, brush all your tears aside!
And you who mourn, recall grief wont abide!

Deaths angel you from all your wounds will cure.

Down the blue mountain in the evening,
Moonlight was my homeward escort.
Looking back, I saw my path
Lie in levels of deep shadow....

Letting down two clay pipes into the earth?

Deaf

As to a birds song she were listening,
Her beautiful head is ever sidewise bent;
Her questioning eyes lift up their depths intent
She, who will never hear the wild-birds sing.

The order of the day
Was push, the peal of every tongue,
The only word was all the way,
Push along, push along.

Yet at the last, ere a sword-thrust could save,
Delight In God Only
© Francis Quarles
I love (and have some cause to love) the earth;
She is my Maker's creature, therefore good:
She is my mother, for she gave me birth;
She is my tender nurse; she gives me food;
But what's a creature, Lord, compared with Thee?
Or what's my mother, or my nurse to me?

Donald's gane up the hill hard and hungry
Donald comes down the hill wild and angry
