Quotes by Mary Mapes Dodge

For ever and ever, my darling, yes—      Goodness and love are undying; Only the troubles and cares of earth      Are winged from the first for flying.           Our way we plough           In the furrow "now;"      But after the tilling and growing the sheaf;      Soil for the root, but the sun for the leaf—           And God keepeth watch forever.
