Earth's love was false; her voice, a siren's song;
(Sweet mother-earth was but a lying name)
The path she showed was but the path of wrong
And shame.
(The Hope Of My Heart)
More Quotes from John Mccrae:

That youth and love should stand at his behest;
To-night, I envy him, that he should lie
At utter rest.

Of the rest He sends to the hearts He tried,
Of the calm that follows the stormiest life --
God's eventide.
John Mccrae
