    In this dim world of clouding cares,
  We rarely know, till wildered eyes
  See white wings lessening up the skies,
The angels with us unawares.
          Babe Cristabel.

    There’s no dearth of kindness
  In this world of ours;
Only in our blindness
  We gather thorns for flowers.
          There’s no Dearth of Kindness.

    The kingliest kings are crowned with thorn.
          The kingliest Kings.
4
              The time shall come
When man to man shall be a friend and brother.
          Hope on, hope ever.
5
    One sharp stern struggle and the slaves of centuries are free.
          The Patriot.
