Christiana Rossetti

Consider

Consider

The lillies of the field whose bloom is brief:
We are as they;
Like them we fade away,
As doth a leaf.

Consider

The sparrows of the air of small account:
Our God doth view
Whether they fall or mount -
He guards us too.

Consider

The lilies that do neither spin nor toil,
Yet are most fair:
What profits all this care
And all this coil?

Consider

The birds that have no barn nor harvest - weeks;
God gives them food:
Much more our Father seeks
To do us good.
