Էջ 173 - STERN Daughter of the Voice of God ! O Duty ! if that name thou love Who art a light to guide, a rod To check the erring, and reprove ; Thou, who art victory and law When empty terrors overawe, From vain temptations dost set free, And calm'st the weary strife of frail humanity!
Էջ 297 - Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and one convert him, let him know, that he which converteth a sinner from the error of his ways shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.
Էջ 94 - I have considered well his loss of time ; And how he cannot be a perfect man, Not being tried and tutored in the world: Experience is by industry achieved, And perfected by the swift course of time : Then, tell me, whither were I best to send him?

Methought that of these visionary flowers I made a nosegay bound in such a way That the same hues, which in their natural bowers Were mingled or opposed, the like array Kept these imprisoned children of the Hours Within my hand, — and then, elate and gay, I hastened to the spot whence I had come, That I might there present it ! — oh ! to whom?

Էջ 240 - Be strong; — be worthy of the grace Of God, and fill thy destined place : A Soul, by force of sorrows high, Uplifted to the purest sky Of undisturbed humanity...
Էջ 182 - Alas ! if we murmur at things like these, That reflection tells us are wise decrees ; That the wind is not ever a gentle breath — That the sun is often the bearer of death — That the...
Էջ 138 - ... selfishness, The signet of its all-enslaving power, Upon a shining ore, and called it gold : Before whose image bow the vulgar great, The vainly rich, the miserable proud, The mob of peasants, nobles, priests, and kings, And with blind feelings reverence the power That grinds them to the dust of misery. But in the temple of their hireling hearts Gold is a living god, and rules in scorn All earthly things but virtue.
Էջ 101 - Gold ! and gold ! and gold without end ! He had gold to lay by, and gold to spend, Gold to give, and gold to lend, And reversions of gold in future. In wealth the family revell'd and roll'd ; Himself and wife and sons so bold ; And his daughters sang to their harps of gold " O bella eta del' oro !" Such was the tale of the Kilmansegg Kin, In golden text on a vellum skin.
