Little Stone…

“How happy is the little stone
That rambles in the road alone, 
And does n’t care about careers,

And exigencies never fears; 
Whose coat of elemental brown                              
A passing universe put on;
And independent as the sun, 
Associates or glows alone, 
Fulfilling absolute decree 
In casual simplicity.”

If I can…

“If I can stop one heart from breaking, 

daisies-under-rain-wallpaper-1024x768-0152
If I can stop one heart from breaking, I shall not live in vain…

I shall not live in vain;
If I can ease one life the aching,

Or cool one pain, 
Or help one fainting robin 
Unto his nest again,
I shall not live in vain.”
