Adelaide Anne Procter Quotes

• I do not ask, O Lord, that life may be A pleasant road.
• I know too well the poison and the sting Of things too sweet.
• Joy is like restless day; but peace divine Like quiet night; Lead me, O Lord,-till perfect Day shall shine Through Peace to Light.
• Dreams grow holy put in action; work grows fair through starry dreaming, But where each flows on unmingling, both are fruitless and in vain.
• Seated one day at the organ, I was weary and ill at ease, And my fingers wandered idly Over the noisy keys.
• It seemed the harmonious echo From our discordant life.
