God’s gifts put man’s best dreams to shame.
~Elizabeth Barrett Browning
Tu lips
were made
to praise
the Lord!
And tulips, children love to stretch
Their fingers down, to feel in each
Its beauty’s sweet nearer.
~Elizabeth Barrett Browning
A Flower in a Letter
You believe
In God, for your part?–that He who makes
Can make good things from ill things, best from worst,
As men plant tulips upon dunghills when
They wish them finest.
~Elizabeth Barrett Browning
