Here the heart
May give a useful lesson to the head,
And learning wiser grow without his books.

That whatsoever thing is lost,
We seek it, ere it comes to light,
In every cranny but the right.

Absence of occupation is not rest,
A mind quite vacant is a mind distress'd.

Absence of occupation is not rest,
A mind quite vacant is a mind distress'd.

We start from the Mother's Arms and we run to the Dustshovel.

Absence from whom we love is worse than death, and frustrates hope severer than despair.
