Show QUATRAINS By Madison Cawein. March 23, 1865 December 9, 1914. Love The source of laughter lies so near to tears, And pain to rapture, that one fountain flows From out the two Love's; in whose deeps appears ap-pears The image of the Heaven each man knows. Happiness Around its mountain many footpaths wind, But only one unto its top attains; Not he who searches closest, takes most pains, But he who seeks not, that one way may find. Adversity A barren field o'ergrown with thorn and weed It stays for him who waits for help from God. Only the soul that makes a plow of Need Shall know what blossoms underneath its sod.
