Marie Joussaye, The Songs that Quinte Sang — By Quinte’s Side (1895)
“ Your saddened hearts with anguish torn, And deemed the burden Heaven sent, Too heavy to be borne Have learned at last, as I once learned, The burden of old Quinte’s song That life’s great lesson is “to live, To suffer, and be strong.” ”
Marie Joussaye, The Songs that Quinte Sang — By Quinte’s Side (1895)
“ Their blithesome notes would mock the ear, The thrush’s song is not less sweet, Although we weep to hear. And though we love the sunshine well We would not have it always day, Man soon would weary were his life One ceaseless roundelay. ”
