"Not In Vain"

If I can stop one Heart from breaking
I shall not live in vain
If I can ease one Life the Aching,
or cool one Pain,
Or help one fainting Robin unto his Nest again,
I shall not live in Vain.

--Emily Dickinson (1830 - 1886)
-- published 1890



Excerpt from "The Clod and the Pebble"

"Love seeketh not itself to please,
Nor for itself hath any care,
But for another gives its ease,
And builds a heaven in hell's despair."

--William Blake (1757 - 1827)
-- published 1794
