Treasures of the Heart These are the gifts I ask Of thee, Spirit serene. Strength for the daily task, Courage to face the road, Good cheer to help me bear the traveler ' s load, And, for the hours of rest that come between. An inward joy in all things heard and seen. These are the sins I fain Would have thee take away: Malice, and cold disdain, Hot anger, sullen hate, Scorn of the lowly, envy of the great. And discontent that casts a shadow gray On all the brightness of the common day. These are the things I prize And hold of dearest worth : Light of the sapphire skies. Peace of the silent hills, Shelter of forests, comfort of the grass, Music of birds, murmur of little rills, Shadow of clouds that swiftly pass, And after showers, The smell of flowers And the good brown earth, — And best of all, along the way, friendship and mirth. — Henry van Dyke

This spot 1 could not love the less — So lovely was the loneliness Of a wild la e with blac roc hound, And the tall pines that towered around. The Lake — Poe. {6}
