Стр. 168 - 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. 152 - More beautiful, or excellent, or fair, Than face of faithful friend, fairest when seen In darkest day ; and many sounds were sweet, Most ravishing, and pleasant to the ear ; But sweeter none than voice of faithful friend, Sweet always, sweetest, heard in loudest storm Some I remember...
Стр. 100 - ... from its native grove, to lifeless wastes, And leave it there alone, to be forgotten Eternally, 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. 133 - His evening song beneath his feet, conversed. Suns, moons, and stars, and clouds, his sisters were ; Rocks, mountains, meteors, seas, and winds, and storms, His brothers, younger brothers, whom he scarce As equals deemed. All passions of all men, The wild and tame, the gentle and severe ; All thoughts, all maxims, sacred and profane ; All creeds, all seasons, Time, Eternity ; All that was hated, and all that...
Стр. 219 - The earth came night, moonless and starless night. Nature stood still : the seas and rivers stood, And all the winds ; and every living thing. The cataract, that like a giant wroth, Rushed down impetuously, as seized, at once, By sudden frost with all his hoary locks, Stood still : and beasts of every kind stood still.
Стр. 132 - Yet, not content with ancestorial name, Or to be known because his fathers were ; He on this height hereditary stood, And gazing higher, purposed in his heart To take another step. Above him seemed Alone the mount of song, the lofty seat Of canonized bards ; and thitherward, By nature taught, and inward melody, In prime of youth he bent his eagle eye.
Стр. 134 - 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 labored up, 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. 211 - From every kindred, nation, people, tongue ; And washed, and sanctified, and saved our souls ; And gave us robes of linen pure, and crowns Of life, and made us kings and priests to God.
Стр. 92 - Wisdom is humble, said the voice of God. "Tis proud, the world replied. Wisdom, said God, Forgives, forbears, and suffers, not for fear Of man, but God. Wisdom revenges, said The world ; is quick and deadly of resentment ; Thrusts at the very shadow of affront, And hastes, by death, to wipe its honour clean.
