In the morning of the world,
When earth was nigher heaven than now.
Pippa Passes. Part iii.
All service ranks the same with God,—
With God, whose puppets, best and worst,
Are we: there is no last nor first.
Pippa Passes. Part iv.
I trust in Nature for the stable laws
Of beauty and utility. Spring shall plant
And Autumn garner to the end of time.
