Some reckon time by stars,
And some by hours:
Some measure days by dreams,
And some by flowers:
My heart alone records
My days and hours.

Additional quotes by Madison Cawein

I am a part of all you see
In Nature; part of all you feel:
I am the impact of the bee
Upon the blossom; in the tree
I am the sap,—that shall reveal
The leaf, the bloom,—that flows and flutes
Up from the darkness through its roots.

Some shall reap that never sow;
And some shall toil and not attain.

There are haunters of the silence, ghosts that hold the heart and brain.

Some reckon time by stars, And some by hours: Some measure days by dreams, And some by flowers: My heart alone records My days and hours. - Madison Cawein
