35 Quotes by Gerald Massey

When man to man shall be friend and brother.

And thou hast stolen a jewel, Death! Shall light thy dark up like a Star. A Beacon kindling from afar Our light of love and fainting faith.

I was a dweller amid shadows grim: Till FREEDOM touched my yearning eyes, and lo! Life in a shining circle, rounding rose, As heaven on heaven goes up the jewell'd night. New floods of passionate life swirl'd at my heart, Like Ocean-surges rolling round the world: And FREEDOM was my glittering Bride.

Still all the day the iron wheels go onward, Grinding life down from its mark.

Upon Love's bosom Earth floats like an Ark Safely through all the Deluge of the dark.

In this dim world of clouding cares, We rarely know, till wildered eyes See white wings lessening up the skies, The angels with us unawares.

O Youth! flame earnest, still aspire, With energies immortal! To many a heaven of Desire, Our yearning opes a portal! And tho' Age wearies by the way, And hearts break in the furrow, We'll sow the golden grain Today-- The Harvest comes tomorrow.

This world is full of beauty, as other worlds above, and if we did our duty, it might be as full of love.

All the rarest hues of human life take radiance and are rainbowed out in tears.
