From my books surcease of sorrowsorrow for the lost Lenore”

Do sorely ruffle; for many miles about
Theres scarce a bush.”

Through ruined systems still restored,
Broadsowing, bleak and void to bless,
Plants with worlds the wilderness;
Waters with tears of ancient sorrow
Apples of Eden ripe to-morrow.
House and tenant go to ground,
Lost in God, in Godhead found.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
