What heavy burdens from our bosoms take,  What parched ground refresh as with a shower! We kneel, and all around us seems to lower; We rise, and all, the distant and the near, Stands forth in sunny outline brave and clear; We kneel, how weak! we rise, how full of power! Why, therefore, should we do ourselves this wrong,  Or other, that we are not always strong, That we are ever overborne with care, That we should ever weak or heratless be, Anxious or troubled, when with us is prayer, And joy and strength and courage are with Thee!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6321</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Vine and the GoatA vine was luxuriant in the time of vintage with leaves and grapes.
