Nurse no long grief,

Grief builds no barns; its plough
Rusts at the door.

Additional quotes by Mary Gilmore

I shall go as my father went,
A thousand plans in his mind,
With something still held unspent
When death lets fall the blind.I shall go as my mother went,
The ink still wet on the line:
I shall pay no rust as rent
For the house that is mine.

Never allow the thoughtless to delcare
That we have no tradition here!

Youth troubles over eternity; age grasps at a day and is satisfied to have even the day.

Nurse no long grief, Lest the heart flower no more; Grief builds no barns; its plough Rusts at the door. - Mary Gilmore
