Consider

Topics: classic

(Macmillan's Magazine, Jan. 1866.)          Consider     The lilies of the field whose bloom is brief: -          We are as they;          Like them we fade away,     As doth a leaf.          Consider     The sparrows of the air of small account:          Our God doth view     Whether they fall or mount, -          He guards us too.          Consider     The lilies that do neither spin nor toil,          Yet are most fair: -          What profits all this care     And all this coil?          Consider     The birds that have no barn nor harvest-weeks;          God gives them food: -     Much more our Father seeks          To do us good.
