Стр. 1 - The Clouds that gather round the setting sun Do take a sober colouring from an eye That hath kept watch o'er man's mortality ; Another race hath been, and other palms are won. Thanks to the human heart by which we live, Thanks to its tenderness, its joys, and fears ; To me the meanest flower that blows can give Thoughts that do often lie too deep for tears.
Стр. 189 - Thus star by star declines Till all are passed away, As morning high and higher shines To pure and perfect day : Nor sink those stars in empty night ; They hide themselves in heaven's own light.

He stood beside that stream again, When years had fled in strife and pain ; He look'd for its calm course in vain, — For storms profaned its peaceful flow, And clouds o'erhung its crystal brow ;...
Стр. 11 - Lyndsey evinced some interest in a stout-built, heavy cob, ' equal to sixteen stone,' that had never warmed into a gallop in its life, and spent much of his time in the stable — always observing to Jerry Leary, an old Irish groom who had lived with his father, that he would ' back Brown Bob against any ' bit of blood
