Sivu 6 - Some dry the black'ning clusters in the sun. Others to tread the liquid harvest join, The groaning presses foam with floods of wine. Here are the vines in early flow'r descry'd, Here grapes discolour'd on the sunny side, And there in Autumn's richest purple dy'd. ' Beds of all various herbs, for ever green, In beauteous order terminate the scene.
Sivu 13 - No man is born into the world whose work Is not born with him; there is always work, And tools to work withal, for those who will; And blessed are the horny hands of toil ! The busy world shoves angrily aside The man who stands with arms akimbo set, Until occasion tells him what to do; And he who waits to have his task marked out Shall die and leave his errand unfulfilled.

Sivu 41 - A brawer bower ye ne'er did see, Than my true love he built for me. There came a man, by middle day, He spied his sport, and went away ; And brought the king that very night, Who brake my bower, and slew my knight. He slew my knight, to me sae dear ; He slew my knight, and poin'd
Sivu 34 - OUR COUNTRY'S FORESTS THIS LITTLE BOOK IS AFFECTIONATELY DEDICATED PREFACE IN this book, made up of sketches first published in the Atlantic Monthly, I have done the best I could to show forth the beauty, grandeur, and all-embracing usefulness of our wild mountain forest reservations and parks, with a view to inciting the people to come and enjoy them, and get them into their hearts, that so at length their preservation and right use might be made sure.
Sivu 53 - Canonmills, from seeds collected by Mr Drummond between Norway House and Canada, and flowered freely in August. When very luxuriant in cultivation, the stem is ascending and less hairy, and very rarely it is continued through the capitulum. Even the native specimens vary in the degree of hairiness, and the number and depth of the serratures of the leaves, which also differ in their breadth at the base, and are more or less elongated. The appearance of the less vigorous cultivated plants exactly resembles...
Sivu 38 - He was a-weary, but he fought his fight, And stood for simple manhood; and was joyed To see the august broadening of the light And new earths heaving heavenward from the void. He loved his fellows, and their love was sweet — Plant daisies at his head and at his feet.
