By unseen hands 't was tended
And fed with holy dew.
(The Garden Of God)

And the tree of life eternal
From the weeping human eyes.

It left to-day and yesterday and thrice a thousand years behind.

The warmth of life is quenched with bitter frost;
Upon the lonely road a child limps by
Skirting the frozen pools: our way is lost:
Our hearts sink utterly.
George William Russell

The hearts and hopes of men
The mountain tops of life shall climb,
The gods return again.
