David And Goliath. A Sacred Drama

© Hannah More

Great Lord of all things! Power divine!
Breathe on this erring heart of mine
  Thy grace serene and pure:
Defend my frail, my erring youth,
And teach me this important truth--
  The humble are secure!

The Empty Purse--A Sermon To Our Later Prodigal Son

© George Meredith

Thy knowledge of women might be surpassed:
As any sad dog's of sweet flesh when he quits
The wayside wandering bone!
No revilings of comrades as ingrates:  thee
The tempter, misleader, and criminal (screened
By laws yet barbarous) own.

No Room For Hate

© Edgar Albert Guest

We have room for the man with an honest dream,
With his heart on fire and his eyes agleam;
We have room for the man with a purpose true,
Who comes to our shores to start life anew,
But we haven't an inch of space for him
Who comes to plot against life and limb.

Owed many years of early liberty.
This care was thine when sickness did condemn

The Loss Is Not So Great

© Edgar Albert Guest

It is better as it is: I have failed but I can sleep;
Though the pit I now am in is very dark and deep
I can walk to-morrow's streets and can meet to-morrow's men
Unashamed to face their gaze as I go to work again.

Laurance - [Part 3]

© Jean Ingelow

But when that other heard, "It is the end,"
His heart was sick, and he, as by a power
Far stronger than himself, was driven to her.
Reason rebelled against it, but his will
Required it of him with a craving strong
As life, and passionate though hopeless pain.
