Sayfa 143 - Then the thought of his own mother came across him, and the promise he had made at her knee, years ago, never to forget to kneel by his bedside, and give himself up to his Father, before he laid his head on the pillow, from which it might never rise ; and he lay down gently and cried as if his heart would break.
Sayfa 160 - Week in, week out, from morn till night, You can hear his bellows blow : You can hear him swing his heavy sledge, With measured beat and slow, Like a sexton ringing the village bell When the evening sun is low.
Sayfa 227 - Perish policy and cunning, Perish all that fears the light ! Whether losing, whether winning, Trust in God and do the right.
