Էջ 15 - I pined to hear, Is mine ! Is mine ! The warbling of an ever-tuneful choir, And the full deep response of David's sacred lyre. Did kind earth hide from me Her broken harmony, That thus the melodies of heaven might roll, And whelm in deeper tides of bliss, my rapt, my wondering soul ? Joy ! I am mute no more, My sad and silent years With all their loneliness are o'er.
Էջ 6 - How far any former teachers have succeeded, it is not easy to know; the improvement of Mr. Braidwood's pupils is wonderful. They not only speak, write, and understand what is written, but if he that speaks looks towards them, and modifies his organs by distinct and full utterance, they know so well what is spoken, that it is an expression scarcely figurative to say they hear with the eye.

Էջ 35 - No radiant pearl, which crested Fortune wears, No gem, that twinkling hangs from Beauty's ears, Not the bright stars, which Night's blue arch adorn, Nor rising suns that gild the vernal morn, Shine with such lustre as the tear that flows Down Virtue's manly cheek for others

Another brought from heaven a clear and gentle mind, And within the lovely casket the precious gem enshrined ; Till all who knew her wondered, that God should be so good, As to bless with such a spirit a world so cold and rude.
Էջ 9 - SUN. The forefinger and thumb are brought together at the tip so as to form a circle, and held up towards the sun's track. To indicate any particular time of the day, the hand with the sign of the sun is stretched out towards the east horizon, and then gradually elevated, to show the ascent of that luminary, until the hand arrives in a proper direction to indicate the part of the heavens in which the sun will be at the given time.

Էջ 15 - SISTERS! there's music here; From countless harps it flows, . Throughout this bright celestial sphere Nor pause nor discord knows. The seal is melted from my ear By love divine, And what through life I. pined to hear, Is mine ! Is mine ! The warbling of an ever-tuneful choir, And the full deep response of David's sacred lyre.
Էջ 42 - Within her downy cradle, there lay a little child, And a group of hovering angels unseen upon her smiled, When a strife arose among them, a loving, holy strife, Which should shed the richest blessing over the new-born life.
