“Some keep the Sabbath going to church, I keep it staying at home, with a bobolink for a chorister, and an orchard for a dome. ”

“I'll tell you how the sun rose, a ribbon at a time.The steeples swam in amethyst, The news like squirrels ran. The hills untied their bonnets,The bobolinks begun.Then I said softly to myself,"That must have been the sun!”

“The only secret people keep is immortality.”

“We both believe, and disbelieve a hundred times an hour, which keeps believing nimble.”

“We journey to the day,And tell each other how we sang To keep the dark away.”

“Harm is one of those things that I always mean to keep clear of, but somehow my intentions and me don't chime as they ought, and people will get hit with stones that I throw at my neighbor's dogs...”

“For you know we do not mind our dressWhen we are going home”
