See how the Lillies flourish white and fair
And how the Ravens Fed from Heaven are.
Thou ne'er distrust thy God for clothes or bread
Whilst the Lillies flourish and the Fowls are fed.
A man that doth on Riches set his mind
Strives to take hold of Shadows and the Wind.
Therefore with food and raiment thou contented be
Ask not for Riches nor for Poverty.
Beggar's Daughter,
Mable Leigh Hunt
