Not illustrated. 1914 edition. Excerpt: ...HESE are the lessons I would learn, Not how to climb above all men, Not how the greatest sums to earn, Not how to wield a master pen; But I would learn how I can be A little kinder than before, How I can live more patiently And help my friends a little more. And I would learn to better show My gratitude for favors had, To see more of the good below And less of what I think is bad. To live not always in the day To come, and count the joys to be, But to remember, as I stray, The past and what it brought to me. To judge my life, not from today, Nor what tomorrow it may mean, But from each footstep of the way And from each pleasure that has been, Remembering in each present woe The love and laughter I have known; And to be grateful as I go, For joys that once I called my own. These are lessons I would learn: To be as brave in grief and care As I am when it is my turn To tread the road where all is fair. More grateful I would learn to be For what has been, as on I tread, And to press forward cheerfully. Content to face what lies ahead. One-Sided Faith XKNOW the rose will bloom again As soon as it is June, The robin will return by then To sing his merry tune. I know the wintry cold will pass, The gray clouds change to blue, But I think my present woe, alas! Must last my whole life through. I view my little garden bare And smile from day to day, I know the green will glisten there As soon as it is May. I face the winter, brave of heart, I know that it will go, But every little ache and smart Sets me to grieving so. If I can view the winter's snow, My garden desolate And smile, because right well I know If I will only wait The days of spring will soon return, And bring me back the rose, Have I not wit enough to learn That time will cure my woes?...
