Adelaide Anne Procter quotes - page 2

Be strong to love, O Heart!
Love knows not wrong;
Didst thou love - creatures even,
Life were not long;
Didst thou love God in heaven,
Thou wouldst be strong! (Adelaide Anne Procter)

A little longer still, and Heaven awaits thee, And fills thy spirit with a great delight; Then our pale joys will seem a dream forgotten, Our Sun a darkness, and our Day a Night.

Adelaide Anne Procter

I have sought, but I seek it vainly, That one lost chord divine, Which came from the soul of the Organ, And entered into mine.It may be that Death's bright angel Will speak in that chord again, It may be that only in Heaven I shall hear that grand Amen.

Adelaide Anne Procter

Rejoice, oh! grieving heart, The hours fly past; With each some sorrow dies, With each some shadow flies, Until at last The red dawn in the east Bids weary night depart, And pain is past.
