Strona 74 - The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field : which indeed is the least of all seeds : but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof.
Strona 36 - Tender-handed stroke a nettle, And it stings you for your pains ; Grasp it like a man of mettle, And it soft as silk remains.
Strona 177 - Our Fathers of Old Excellent herbs had our fathers of old Excellent herbs to ease their pain Alexanders and marigold, Eyebright, orris and elecampane, Basil, rocket, valerian, rue (Almost singing themselves they run) Vervain, dittany, call-me-to-you Cowslip, melilot, rose of the sun.

Strona 52 - With woodbine, many a perfume breathed From plants that wake when others sleep, From timid jasmine buds, that keep Their odour to themselves all day, But, when the sunlight dies away, Let the delicious secret out To every breeze that roams about...
Strona 56 - From the reek of the pond the lily Has risen in raiment white, A spirit of air and water, A form of incarnate light. Yet, except for the rooted stem That steadies her diadem; Except for the earth she is nourished by, Could the soul of the lily have climbed to the sky?
Strona 246 - Over the shoulders and slopes of the dune I saw the white daisies go down to the sea, A host in the sunshine, an army in June, The people God sends us to set our hearts free. The bobolinks rallied them up from the dell, The orioles whistled them out of the wood; And all of their singing was, "Earth, it is well!
Strona 125 - John's wort to-night, The wonderful herb, whose leaf will decide If the coming year shall make me a bride.
