Poems

REFLECTION

From the April 1883 issue of The Christian Science Journal


"What are our joys but dreams? and what our hopes,
But goodly shadows in the summer cloud?
There's not a wind that blows, but bears with it
Some rainbow promise. Not a moment flies
But puts its sickle in the fields of life,
And mowes its thousands with their joys and cares."
