Summary

Portrait of Ella Wheeler Wilcox Ella Wheeler Wilcox,  Poems of Cheer — As you go through Life (1914)

“ Don't look for the flaws as you go through life;
And even when you find them,
It is wise and kind to be somewhat blind,
And look for the virtue behind them;
For the cloudiest night has a hint of light
Somewhere in its shadows hiding;
It's better by far to hunt for a star,
Than the spots on the sun abiding.
The current of life runs ever away
To the bosom of God's great ocean.
