Sayfa 286 - When Freedom, from her mountain height, Unfurled her standard to the air, She tore the azure robe of night, And set the stars of glory there; She mingled with its gorgeous dyes The milky baldric of the skies, And striped its pure, celestial white With streakings of the morning light; Then, from his mansion in the sun, She called her eagle bearer down, And gave into his mighty hand, The symbol of her chosen land.
Sayfa 287 - Green be the turf above thee, Friend of my better days! None knew thee but to love thee, Nor named thee but to praise. Tears fell when thou wert dying, From eyes unused to weep, And long, where thou art lying, Will tears the cold turf steep. When hearts, whose truth was proven, Like thine, are laid in earth, There should a wreath be woven To tell the world their worth...
Sayfa 39 - s heart had each its column, * His head an index to the sacred volume. * His very name a title-page ; and next, * His life a commentary on the text. * O what a monument of glorious worth, * When in a new edition he comes forth, • Without erratas, may we think he'll be, * In leaves and covers of eternity...
Sayfa 256 - ... and the roar Of waves that drive to shore, One spirit did ye urge, — The Mystery— the Word. Of thousands thou both sepulchre and pall, Old Ocean, art ! A requiem o'er the dead From out thy gloomy cells A tale of mourning tells, — Tells of man's woe and fall, His sinless glory fled. Then turn thee, little bird ! and take thy flight Where the complaining sea shall sadness bring Thy spirit never more ! Come, quit with me the shore For gladness, and the light Where birds of summer sing ! THE...
Sayfa 29 - Mr- Hopkins, the governor of Hartford upon Connecticut, came to Boston, and brought his wife with him, (a godly young woman, and of special parts,) who was fallen into a sad infirmity, the loss of her understanding and reason, which had been growing upon her divers years, by occasion of her giving herself wholly to reading and writing, and had written many books. Her husband, being very loving and tender of her, was loath to grieve her; but he saw his error, when it was too late. For if she had attended...
Sayfa 62 - The soul of a true Christian, as I then wrote my meditations, appeared like such a little white flower as we see in the spring of the year, low and humble, on the ground; opening its bosom to receive the pleasant beams of the sun's glory; rejoicing, as it were, in a calm rapture; diffusing around a sweet fragancy; standing peacefully and lovingly in the midst of other flowers round about; all, in like manner, opening their bosoms to drink in the light of the [sun.
Sayfa 253 - Moreover, he hath left you all his walks, His private arbors, and new-planted orchards, On this side Tiber; he hath left them you, And to your heirs forever- common pleasures, To walk abroad and recreate yourselves. Here was a Caesar! When comes such another? FIRST CITIZEN. Never, never. Come, away, away! We'll burn his body in the holy place And with the brands fire the traitors
Sayfa 41 - When I behold the heavens as in their prime, And then the earth, though old, still clad in green The stones and trees insensible of time, Nor age nor wrinkle on their front are seen; If winter come and greenness then do fade, A Spring returns and they more youthfull made; But Man grows old, lies down, remains where once he's laid...
Sayfa 118 - With stomach stout to see it out, And make a bloody day, sir. The cannons roar from shore to shore, The small arms make a rattle ; Since wars began, I'm sure no man E'er saw so strange a battle. The rebel dales, the rebel vales, With rebel trees surrounded, The distant wood, the hills and floods, With rebel echoes sounded.
Sayfa 160 - Pour'd down his back its copious tide, And wore its channels in his hide : So from the high-raised urn the torrents Spread down his side their various currents ; His flowing wig, as next the brim, First met and drank the sable stream ; Adown his visage stern and grave Roll'd and adhered the viscid wave ; With arms depending as he stood, Each cuff...
