All are needed by each one ; 



Nothing is fair or good alone. 



I thought the sparrow's note from heaven. 



Singing at dawn on the alder bough ; 



I brought him home, in his nest, at even ; 



He sings the song, but it cheers not now. 



For I did not bring home the river and sky ; — 



He sang to my ear, — they sang to my eye. 



Ralph Waldo Ejiersok : Each and All. 



Not from his fellows only man may learn 



Rights to compare and duties to discern ; 



All creatures and all objects, in degree, 



Are friends and patrons of humanity. 



There are to whom the garden, grove, and field 



Perpetual lessons of forbearance yield ; 



Who would not lightly violate the grace 



The lowliest flower possesses in its place ; 



Nor shorten the sweet life, too fugitive. 



Which nothing less than infinite Power could give. 



William Wordsworth : Humanity. 



Sounds drop in visiting from everywhere — 

 The bluebird's and the robin's trill are there. 

 Their sweet liquidity diluted some 

 By dewy orchard spaces they have come. 



James Whitcomb Riley : A Child JVorld.
