Strana 114 - THREE years she grew in sun and shower, Then Nature said, 'A lovelier flower On earth was never sown ! This child I to myself will take ; She shall be mine, and I will make A lady of my own. 'Myself will to my darling be Both law and impulse ; and with me The girl, in rock and plain, In earth and heaven, in glade and bower, Shall feel an overseeing power To kindle or restrain.
Strana 93 - I am strong, Knowing ye are not lost for aye among The hills, with last year's thrush. God keeps a niche In Heaven to hold our idols ; and albeit He brake them to our faces and denied That our close kisses should impair their white, I know we shall behold them raised, complete, The dust swept from their beauty, — glorified New Memnons singing in the great God-light.
Strana 67 - Break, break, break, On thy cold gray stones, O Sea! And I would that my tongue could utter The thoughts that arise in me. O well for the fisherman's boy, That he shouts with his sister at play! O well for the sailor lad, That he sings in his boat on the bay!

Strana 258 - It deserves to be spoken of with all praise, as one towards which author, editor, illustrator, and publisher have equally done their best. Of the translation itself we cannot speak too highly — it has all the force and freshness of original writing.
Strana 147 - Sleep is busy with my eyes : I seem in some waste solitude to stand Once ruled of Cheops : upon either hand A dark illimitable desert lies, Sultry and still, — a realm of mysteries...

Strana 174 - When the rose of thine own being Shall reveal its central fold, Thou shall look within and marvel, Fearing what thine eyes behold ; What it shows and what it teaches Are not things wherewith to part ; Thorny rose ! that always costeth Beatings at the heart. Look in fear, for there is dimness ; Ills unshapen float anigh. Look in awe : for this same nature Once the Godhead deigned to die. Look in love, for He doth love it, And its tale is best of lore : Still humanity grows dearer, Being learned the...
