Stranica 251 - WHEN the lamp is shattered The light in the dust lies dead — When the cloud is scattered The rainbow's glory is shed. When the lute is broken, Sweet tones are remembered not ; When the lips have spoken, Loved accents are soon forgot. As music and splendour Survive not the lamp and the lute, The heart's echoes render No song when the spirit is mute : No song but sad dirges, Like the wind through a ruined cell, Or the mournful surges That ring the dead seaman's knell.

Stranica 128 - And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself. And the people of the Prince, that shall come, shall destroy the city and the sanctuary : and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.
Stranica 282 - As if you got more than you'd title to rightfully, And you find yourself hoping its wild father Lightning Would flame in for a second and give you a fright'ning. He has perfect sway of what I call a sham metre, But many admire it, the English pentameter, And Campbell...
Stranica 244 - Thou hast a voice, great Mountain, to repeal .Large codes of fraud and woe; not understood By all, but which the wise and great and good Interpret, or make felt, or deeply feel.
Stranica 276 - She is indeed her mother's child; But God's sweet pity ministers Unto no whiter soul than hers. 'Let Goody Martin rest in peace; I never knew her harm a fly, And witch or not, God knows — not I. 'I know who swore her life away; And as God lives, I'd not condemn An Indian dog on word of them.
Stranica 332 - Some trust in chariots, and some in horses : But we will make mention of the name of the Lord our God. They are bowed down and fallen : but we are risen, and stand upright.
