More quotes by Henry Kirke White

Henry Kirke White

Henry Kirke White
Goodness, Time's rude hand defies, And winter lives when beauty dies.
Henry Kirke White
Much in sorrow, oft in woe, Onward, Christians, onward go.
Henry Kirke White
And care, whom not the gayest can outbrave, Pursues its feeble victim to the grave.
Henry Kirke White
Earthly pride is like the passing flower, that springs to fall, and blossoms but to die.
Henry Kirke White
