Стр. 22 - Star of eternity ! the only star By which the bark of man could navigate The sea of life, and gain the coast of bliss Securely ! only star which rose on Time, And, on its dark and troubled billows, still, As generation, drifting swiftly by, Succeeded generation, threw a ray Of heaven's own light, and to the hills of God, The eternal hills, pointed the sinner's eye.

Стр. 111 - 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.

Стр. 98 - Stood ready for the reaper's gathering hand, And all the winds slept soundly. Nature seemed In silent contemplation to adore Its Maker.

Стр. 98 - ... outspread, sat heavenly Thought, Conversing with itself. Vesper looked forth, From out her western hermitage, and smiled; And up the east unclouded, rode the Moon With all her stars, gazing on earth intense, As if she saw some wonder walking there. Such was the night, so lovely, still, serene, When, by a hermit thorn that on the hill Had seen a hundred flowery ages pass, A damsel kneeled to offer up her prayer— Her prayer nightly offered, nightly heard. This ancient thorn had been the...
Стр. 150 - Return the stream of life in healthy flow : And as the anatomist, with all his band Of rude disciples, o'er the subject hung, And impolitely hewed his way, through bones And muscles of the sacred human form, Exposing barbarously to wanton gaze, The mysteries of nature, joint embraced His kindred joint, the wounded flesh grew up, And suddenly the injured man awoke Among their hands, and stood arrayed complete In immortality — forgiving scarce The insult offered to his clay in death.
Стр. 161 - ... puny skill, From age to age enduring and unchanged, Majestical, inimitable, vast, Loud uttering satire, day and night, on each Succeeding race, and little pompous work Of man ! — 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 !
