The mild, the fierce, the stony face;
Some bright with thoughtless smiles, and some
Where secret tears have left their trace.

But midst the gorgeous blooms of May,
I passed thee on thy humble stalk. - William Cullen Bryant

Thus change the forms of being. Thus arise
Races of living things, glorious in strength,
And perish, as the quickening breath of God
Fills them, or is withdrawn. - William Cullen Bryant
