Sivu 72 - TWAS a lovely thought to mark the hours As they floated in light away, By the opening and the folding flowers, That laugh to the summer's day. Thus had each moment its own rich hue, And its graceful cup and bell, In whose coloured vase might sleep the dew, Like a pearl in an ocean-shell.
Sivu 73 - Mark'd thus — even thus — on earth, By the closing of one hope's delight, And another's gentle birth ? Oh ! let us live, so that flower by flower, Shutting in turn, may leave A lingerer still for the sunset hour, A charm for the shaded eve.
Sivu 72 - In a golden current on, Ere from the garden, man's first abode, The glorious guests were gone. So might the days have been brightly told — Those days of song and dreams — When shepherds gather'd their flocks of old By the blue Arcadian streams. So in those isles of delight, that rest Far off in a breezeless main, Which many a bark, with a weary quest, Has sought, but still in vain.
Sivu vi - To mark the matchless workings of the power That shuts within its seed the future flower, Bids these in elegance of form excel, In color these, and those delight the smell, Sends Nature forth the daughter of the skies, To dance on earth, and charm all human eyes...
Sivu 33 - ... done, upon which a sudden noise arose in the half-burnt forest, such as I can only compare to what may be imagined among a large army attacked by an enemy. We knew not whither to turn our steps ; the smoke would not suffer us to remain where we were, and we durst not turn back.
Sivu 32 - The fire was nearly extinguished in most of the spots we visited, except in ant-hills, and dry trunks of trees. After -we had travelled about half a quarter of a mile across one of these scenes of desolation, the wind began to blow with rather more force than it had...
Sivu 100 - Its still, small voice is as the voice of conscience; Mountains and oceans, planets, suns and systems Bear not the impress of Almighty power In characters more legible than those Which He hath written on the tiniest flower Whose light bell bends beneath the dewdrop's weight.
Sivu 32 - In many different places, perhaps in nine or ten, that came under my notice, the devastation extended several miles' distance. I traversed a space three quarters of a mile in extent, which was entirely burnt ; so that Flora, instead of appearing in her gay and verdant attire, was in deep sable...
Sivu 76 - The most flattering compliment which he received was from the King of Spain, who invited him to settle at Madrid, with the offer of an annual pension for life of 2000 pistoles, letters of nobility, and the free exercise of his own religion. He, however, did not accept of this offer, but answered, that if he had any merit, his services were due to his own country.
Sivu 74 - Also I will ordain a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, and they shall dwell in their place, and shall be moved no more; neither shall the children of wickedness...
