Ella Wheeler Wilcox
The birds laugh loud and long together When Fashion's followers speed away At the first cool breath of autumn weather. Why, this is the time, cry the birds, to stay!

Ella Wheeler Wilcox
O skies, be calm! O winds, blow free - Blow all my ships safe home to me! But if thou sendest some a-wrack, To never more come sailing back, Send any - all that skim the sea, But bring my love-ship home to me.

Ella Wheeler Wilcox
For here lies the pleasure of living: In taking God's bounties, and giving The gifts back again.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox
Always continue to climb.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox
Time is the best avenger.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox
Say you are well, or all is well with you, and God shall hear your words and make them true.

Good music is wine turned to sound
Ella Wheeler Wilcox
I was as pure as the morning When I first looked on your face I knew I never could reach you In your high, exalted place.
