Excerpt from Baby Grace, and Other Poems Fills my heart with faith and courage, Life's unconquered ills to meet. Like a flower whose fragrance lingers, When its bloom has passed away, Or a dream whose lovely image, Hovers round me through the day; So my spirit gathers sweetness, From the bitter things of life, When I think of you, my darling, 'mid the turmoil and the strife. Flowers may fade and dreams may vanish, And the brightest hopes decay, But the sweetness of your memory Never more shall pass away.
