Էջ 67 - And just one spray of lilac still a-bloom beside the well; The columbine adorns the rocks, the laurel buds grow pink, Along the stream white arums gleam, and violets bend to drink.

Էջ 65 - ANGLER'S REVEILLE What time the rose of dawn is laid across the lips of night, And all the drowsy little stars have fallen asleep in light; 'Tis then a wandering wind awakes, and runs from tree to tree, And borrows words from all the birds to sound the reveille. This is the carol the Robin throws Over the edge of the valley; Listen how boldly it flows, Sally on sally : Tirra-lirra, Down the river, Laughing water All a-quiver. Day is near, Clear, clear. Fish are breaking, Time for waking. Tup, tup,...
Էջ 73 - S little I can tell About the birds in books ; And yet I know them well, By their music and their looks: When May comes down the lane, Her airy lovers throng To welcome her with song, And follow in her train...

Rise, and let thy voice be heard, Like a fountain disinterred, Upward springing, singing, sparkling Through the doubtful shadows darkling ; Till the clouds of pain and rage Brooding o'er the toiling age, As with rifts of light are stirred By the music of the word ; Gospel for the heavy-laden, answer to the laborer's cry ; "•Raise the stone and thou shall find Me ; cleave the wood, and there am 1.
