=Prairie.=

Far in the East like low-hung clouds
The waving woodlands lie;
Far in the West the glowing plain
Melts warmly in the sky.
No accent wounds the reverent air,--
No footprint dints the sod,--
Low in the light the prairie lies
Rapt in a dream of God.

No more avails than breath against the wind
Blown stifling back on him that breathes it forth:
Therefore to his great bidding I submit.
1371

For the dear God who loveth us,
He made and loveth all.

God answers sharp and sudden on some prayers,
And thrusts the thing we have prayed for in our face,
A gauntlet with a gift in 't.

More things are wrought by prayer
Than this world dreams of.

Like the patriarch's angel hold it fast
Till it gives its blessing.

Unaw'd by influence and unbrib'd by gain.

=Pride.=

Pride hath no other glass
To show itself, but pride; for supple knees
Feed arrogance, and are the proud
