“Consider
The lilies 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. ” – Christina Georgina Rossetti (1830–1894)

Much sounder than, and preferable to, your friend Ms Dickinson.
Probably, although E.D. often writes better than C.R.
But still, have another one.
