Had You Been Old by Elizabeth Hollister Frost

Had you been old I might be reconciled To see you gathered to the silent wild, Were your days darkened, weary, shattered, told, Had life with disillusion been defiled, And grief poured on your head its molten gold – Had you been old – But you were young: your faith a fire unshaken, Your hair […]

TUCW Response to Sandy Hook

We all share in the shock and sadness of the tragedy that unfolded today at the Sandy Hook Elementary School. To the best of our knowledge no one from our community or the Danbury congregation had a family member directly involved.

May I be an enemy to no one and the friend of what abides eternally by Eusebius, 4th century Christian

May I be an enemy to no one and the friend of what abides eternally. May I never quarrel with those nearest me, and be reconciled quickly if I should. May I never plot evil against others, and if anyone plot evil against me, may I escape unharmed and without the need to hurt anyone […]

My Symphony by William Henry Channing

To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion; to be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not, rich; to listen to stars and birds, babes and sages, with open heart; to study hard; to think quietly, act frankly, talk gently, await occasions, hurry never; in a word, […]

Home Burial by Robert Frost

He saw her from the bottom of the stairs Before she saw him.  She was starting down, Looking back over her shoulder at some fear. She took a doubtful step and then undid it To raise herself and look again.  He spoke Advancing toward her:  “What is it you see From up there always?—for I […]

My Lost Youth by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Often I think of the beautiful town That is seated by the sea; Often in thought go up and down The pleasant streets of that dear old town, And my youth comes back to me. And a verse of a Lapland song Is haunting my memory still: ‘A boy’s will is the wind’s will, And […]

Reluctance by Robert Frost

Out through the fields and the woods And over the walls I have wended; I have climbed the hills of view And looked at the world, and descended; I have come by the highway home, And lo, it is ended. The leaves are all dead on the ground, Save those that the oak is keeping […]

Provide, Provide by Robert Frost

The witch that came (the withered hag) To wash the steps with pail and rag Was once the beauty Abishag, The picture pride of Hollywood. Too many fall from great and good For you to doubt the likelihood. Die early and avoid the fate. Or if predestined to die late, Make up your mind to […]

Out, Out— by Robert Frost

The buzz-saw snarled and rattled in the yard And made dust and dropped stove-length sticks of wood, Sweet-scented stuff when the breeze drew across it. And from there those that lifted eyes could count Five mountain ranges one behind the other Under the sunset far into Vermont. And the saw snarled and rattled, snarled and […]

Silence by Billy Collins

There is the sudden silence of the crowd above a player not moving on the field, and the silence of the orchid. The silence of the falling vase before it strikes the floor, the silence of the belt when it is not striking the child. The stillness of the cup and the water in it, […]
