Стр. 112 - And one in her winding-sheet. The choristers sang the hymn, The sacred rites were read, And one for life to Life And one to Death was wed. They were borne to their bridal beds, In loveliness and bloom, — One in a merry castle, The other a solemn tomb.
Стр. 55 - I worshipped thee with smiles, Or if I ever wept, it was with joy divine ! By day, and night, on land, and sea, and air, — I saw thee everywhere ! A voice of greeting from the wind was sent ; The mists enfolded me with soft white arms ; The birds did sing to lap me...
