Pretty thoughts


There is something of poetry born in us each,

Though in many, perhaps, it is born without speech, -


An existence but dumb and uncertain, that strives


For expression in vain through the whole of their lives;



That is glad when the spring wears its beautiful smile,



And is sad when all nature to tears would beguile;




That can feel in the summer a glory divine



Thrilling on though the days in their silvery shine;





That can drink in delight in its radiance rare




When the mellow-hued autumn breathes peace like a


prayer;



That can weep with the world in its woe of to-day,




And to-morrow take part in its merriest play;




That can stand on the mountain-tops often, and see



Where the far-away gardens of paradise be;



That can sound with its plummet of feeling the deeps



Where despair in the darkness of destiny sleeps;


That can feel, and can be, yet can never express


All the feeling and being its life may possess,



But that yearns with a yearning no poet e'er knew




In its silence of years for the speech of the few.

  1. Beautiful. :) Hey girl..so sorry I never called you! I have been so flippin busy this summer. Tomorrow my girlrfiend and I are going up to Hardy Creek for a ride! Looks like you got a lot of riding in this summer. I think I may wait to buy my horse (unless something falls in my lap) next Spring. *sigh* I need to learn to slow down first. Lol! I still want to meet sometime! I haven't forgotten!
