Calm soul of all things ! make it mineTo feel, amid the city’s jar,That there abides a peace of thine,Man did not make, and cannot mar!
The will to neither strive nor cry,The power to feel with others give!Calm, calm me more ! nor let me dieBefore I have begun to live.
Matthew Arnold, English poet (1822 – 1888)

Calm soul of all things ! make it mine
To feel, amid the city’s jar,
That there abides a peace of thine,
Man did not make, and cannot mar!

The will to neither strive nor cry,
The power to feel with others give!
Calm, calm me more ! nor let me die
Before I have begun to live.

Matthew Arnold, English poet (1822 – 1888)
