Sivu 364 - SYDNEY SMITH'S MISCELLANEOUS WORKS; including his Contributions to the Edinburgh Review. Crown 8vo. 6s. The Wit and Wisdom of the Rev. Sydney Smith; a Selection of the most memorable Passages in his Writings and Conversation. 16mo.
Sivu 25 - And this maiden she lived with no other thought Than to love and be loved by me. / was a child and she was a child, In this kingdom by the sea, But we loved with a love that was more than love I and my ANNABEL LEE — With a love that the winged seraphs of heaven Coveted her and me. And this was the reason that, long ago, In this kingdom by the sea, A wind blew out of...
Sivu 24 - TO ONE IN PARADISE. THOU wast that all to me, love, For which my soul did pine — • A green isle in the sea, love, A fountain and a shrine, All wreathed with fairy fruits and flowers, And all the flowers were mine. Ah, dream too bright to last ! Ah, starry Hope ! that didst arise But to be overcast ! A voice from out the Future cries, " On ! on ! "—but o'er the Past (Dim gulf !) my spirit hovering lies Mute, motionless, aghast ! For, alas ! alas ! with me The light of Life is o'er f
Sivu 26 - Of those who were older than we, Of many far wiser than we ; And neither the angels in heaven above Nor the demons down under the sea Can ever dissever my soul from the soul Of the beautiful Annabel Lee ; For the moon never beams without bringing me dreams Of the beautiful Annabel Lee...
Sivu 54 - Thou and thou alone, must hear. « Though my scarred and veteran legions Bear their eagles high no more, And my wrecked and scattered galleys Strew dark Actium's fatal shore; Though no glittering guards surround me, Prompt to do their master's will, I must perish like a Roman, Die the great Triumvir, still.
Sivu 196 - WHEN SHE COMES HOME WHEN she comes home again! A thousand ways I fashion, to myself, the tenderness Of my glad welcome: I shall tremble — yes; And touch her, as when first in the old days I touched her girlish hand, nor dared upraise Mine eyes, such was my faint heart's sweet distress. Then silence : and the perfume of her dress : The room will sway a little, and a haze Cloy eyesight — soulsight, even — for a space; And tears — yes ; and the ache here in the throat, To know that I so ill...
Sivu 46 - Look out upon the stars, my love, And shame them with thine eyes, On which, than on the lights above, There hang more destinies. Night's beauty is the harmony Of blending shades and light; Then, lady, up, — look out, and be A sister to the night! Sleep not! — thine image wakes for aye Within my watching breast: Sleep not! — from her soft sleep should fly, Who robs all hearts of rest. Nay, lady, from thy slumbers break, And make this darkness gay With looks, whose brightness well might make...
Sivu 25 - In this kingdom by the sea, But we loved with a love that was more than love, I and my Annabel Lee ; With a love that the winged seraphs of heaven Coveted her and me. And this was the reason that, long ago, In this kingdom by the sea, A wind blew out of a cloud, chilling My beautiful Annabel Lee; So that her highborn kinsmen came And bore her away from me, To shut her up in a sepulchre In this kingdom by the sea.
Sivu 208 - And bend each wandering step to this one end, — That one day out of darkness they shall meet And read life's meaning in each other's eyes. And two shall walk some narrow way of life, So nearly side by side that should one turn Ever so little space to left or right, They needs must stand acknowledged face to face...
Sivu 15 - ... of your very eye. The fisher hangs over the leaning boat, And ponders the silver sea, For Love is under the surface hid, And a spell of thought has he; He heaves the wave like a bosom sweet, And speaks in the ripple low, Till the bait is gone from the crafty line, And the hook hangs bare below. He blurs the print of the scholar's book, And intrudes in the maiden's prayer, And profanes the cell of the holy man In the shape of a lady fair. In the darkest night, and the bright daylight. In earth,...
