Mary Oliver Quotes

I Worried
I Worried A Lot. Will The Garden Grow, Will The Rivers
flow In The Right Direction, Will The Earth Turn
as It Was Taught, And If Not How Shall
I Correct It?
Was I Right, Was I Wrong, Will I Be Forgiven,
can I Do Better?
Will I Ever Be Able To Sing, Even The Sparrows
can Do It And I Am, Well,
hopeless.
Is My Eyesight Fading Or Am I Just Imagining It,
am I Going To Get Rheumatism,
lockjaw, Dementia?
Finally I Saw That Worrying Had Come To Nothing.
And Gave It Up. And Took My Old Body
and Went Out Into The Morning,
and Sang.
