Men are but children of a larger growth.
Confidence is a plant of slow growth in an aged bosom.
Man is the nobler growth our realms supply,
And souls are ripened in our northern sky.
Man seems the only growth that dwindles here.
The common growth of Mother Earth
Suffices me,—her tears, her mirth,
Her humblest mirth and tears.
