Should a July noon<br>Burst suddenly upon a frozen world<br>Small joy would follow, even tho' that world<br>Were longing for the Summer. Should the sting<br>Of sharp December pierce the heart of June, <br>What death and devastation would ensue! <br>All things are planned. The most majestic sphere<br>That whirls through space is governed and controlled<br>By supreme law, as is the blade of grass<br>Which through the bursting bosom of the earth<br>Creeps up to kiss the light. Poor puny man<br>Alone doth strive and battle with the Force<br>Which rules all lives and worlds, and he alone<br>Demands effect before producing cause. </div><div style="margin:10px 0">How vain the hope! We cannot harvest joy<br>Until we sow the seed, and God alone<br>Knows when that seed has ripened. Oft we stand<br>And watch the ground with anxious brooding eyes<br>Complaining of the slow unfruitful yield, <br>Not knowing that the shadow of ourselves<br>Keeps off the sunlight and delays result.<br>Sometimes our fierce impatience of desire<br>Doth like a sultry May force tender shoots<br>Of half-formed pleasures and unshaped events<br>To ripen prematurely, and we reap<br>But disappointment; or we rot the germs<br>With briny tears ere they have time to grow.<br>While stars are born and mighty planets die<br>And hissing comets scorch the brow of space<br>The Universe keeps its eternal calm.<br>Through patient preparation, year on year, <br>The earth endures the travail of the Spring<br>And Winter's desolation. So our souls<br>In grand submission to a higher law<br>Should move serene through all the ills of life, <br>Believing them masked joys.</div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br /></a><br />poem by <a href="http://en.citatepedia.ro/by.php?a=Ella+Wheeler+Wilcox">Ella Wheeler Wilcox</a><div class=q>
