Heed Quotes - Page 13

• And I will trust that He who heeds
  The life that hides in mead and wold,
  Who hangs you alder's crimson beads,
  And stains these mosses green and gold,
  Will still, as He hath done, incline
  His gracious care to me and mine.

  John Greenleaf Whittier

  Francis Quarles

  Two, Understanding, Soul
