Stopford Brooke Quotes

• A little sun, a little rain,
  A soft wind blowing from the west,
  And woods and fields are sweet again,
  And warmth within the mountain's breast
  
  A little love, a little trust,
  A soft impulse, a sudden dream,
  And life as dry as desert dust,
  Is fresher than a mountain stream.
