Стр. 164 - Prepared to walk with her through death's dark vale. And now her eyes grew bright, and brighter still, Too bright for ours to look upon, suffused With many tears, and closed without a cloud. They set as sets the morning star, which goes Not down behind the darkened west, nor hides Obscured among the tempests of the sky, But melts away into the light of heaven.
Стр. 131 - As some fierce comet of tremendous size, To which the stars did reverence, as it passed ; So he through learning, and through fancy took His flight sublime ; and on the loftiest top Of Fame's dread mountain sat : not soiled, and worn, As if he from the earth had laboured np ; But as some bird of heavenly plumage fair, He looked, which down from higher regions came, And perched it there, to see what lay beneath.
Стр. 131 - He tossed about, as tempest-withered leaves, Then smiling looked upon the wreck he made. With terror now he froze the cowering blood, And now dissolved the heart in tenderness ; Yet would not tremble, would not weep himself, But back into his soul retired, alone, Dark, sullen, proud ; gazing contemptuously On hearts and passions prostrate at his feet.
Стр. 98 - God passed in mercy by, — His praise be ever new ! — and on him breathed, And bade him live, and put into his hands A holy harp, into his lips a song, . That rolled its numbers down the tide of Time. Ambitious now but little, to be praised Of men alone ; ambitious most, to be Approved of God, the Judge of all; and have His name recorded in the book of life.
Стр. 206 - Harp! lift thy voice on high! shout, angels, shout! And loudest, ye redeemed! glory to God, And to the Lamb, all glory and all praise, All glory and all praise, at morn and even, That come and go eternally, and find Us happy still, and Thee for ever blessed ! Glory to God and to the Lamb. Amen. For ever, and for evermore. Amen.
Стр. 232 - Unfallen, religious, holy Sea ! Thou bowedst thy glorious head to none, fearedst none, Heardst none, to none didst honour, but to God Thy Maker, only worthy to receive Thy great obeisance. Undiscovered Sea ! Into thy dark, unknown, mysterious caves, And secret haunts, unfathomably deep, Beneath all visible retired, none went And came again, to tell the wonders there.
Стр. 42 - This book, this holy book, on every line Marked with the seal of high divinity, On every leaf bedewed with drops of love Divine, and with the eternal heraldry And signature of God Almighty stamped From first to last, this ray of sacred light, This lamp, from off the everlasting throne, Mercy took down, and, in the night of Time Stood, casting on the dark her gracious bow ; And evermore beseeching men, with tears And earnest sighs, to read, believe, and live.
Стр. 40 - Heaven, though less in sight of man ; At enmity with God his maker born, And by his very life an heir of death : That man, that every man was, farther, most Unable to redeem himself, or pay One mite of his vast debt to God ; nay, more, Was most reluctant and averse to be Redeemed, and sin's most voluntary slave : That Jesus, Son of God, of Mary born In Bethlehem, and by Pilate crucified On Calvary, for man thus fallen and lost, Died ; and, by death, life and salvation bought, And perfect righteousness,...
Стр. 144 - Mysterious, infinite, exhaust less love ! On earth mysterious, and mysterious still In heaven ; sweet chord, that harmonizes all The, harps of Paradise ; the spring, the well, That fills the bowl, and banquet of the sky.
Стр. 163 - Too, wept, though not to weeping given : and all Within the house was dolorous and sad ; This I remember well ; but better still, I do remember, and will ne'er forget, The dying eye — that eye alone was bright, And brighter grew, as nearer death approached...
