Additional quotes by Adelaide Anne Procter

I do not ask that flowers should always spring Beneath my feet I know too well the poison and the sting Of things too sweet.

A little longer yet — a little longer, Shall violets bloom for thee, and sweet birds sing; And the lime branches where soft winds are blowing, Shall murmur the sweet promise of the Spring!

Heaven unites again the links that Earth has broken! For on Earth so much is needed, but in Heaven Love is all!

Dreams grow holy put in action; work grows fair through starry dreaming, But where each flows on unmingling, both are fruitless and in vain. - Adelaide Anne Procter
