Additional quotes by John Keble

Abide with me from morn till eve,
For without Thee I cannot live:
Abide with me when night is nigh,
For without Thee I dare not die.

Why should we faint and fear to live alone,
Since all alone, so Heaven has willed, we die,
Nor even the tenderest heart, and next our own,
Knows half the reasons why we smile and sigh?

When the shore is won at last,
Who will count the billows past?

As fire is kindled by fire, so is a poet's mind kindled by contact with a brother poet. - John Keble
