Mary Mapes Dodge quotes

But when a snowflake, brave and meek, Lights on a rosy maiden's cheek, It starts-"How warm and soft the day!" "'T is summer!" and it melts away. (Mary Mapes Dodge)
Whenever a snowflake leaves the sky, It turns and turns to say "Good-by! Good-by, dear clouds, so cool and gray!" Then lightly travels on its way. View quote

But I believe that God is overhead And as life is to the living, so death is to the dead. View quote

Life is a mystery as deep as ever death can be; Yet oh, how dear it is to us, this life we live and see! View quote
Mary Mapes Dodge
For ever and ever, my darling, yes- Goodness and love are undying; Only the troubles and cares of earth Are winged from the first for flying. Our way we plough In the furrow "now;" But after the tilling and growing the sheaf; Soil for the root, but the sun for the leaf- And God keepeth watch forever. View quote
