Strana 121 - She saw her brother Peterkin Roll something large and round, Which he beside the rivulet In playing there had found ; He came to ask what he had found That was so large and smooth and round. Old Kaspar took it from the boy Who stood expectant by ; And then the old man shook his head, And with a natural sigh — 'Tis some poor fellow's skull,' said he, ' Who fell in the great victory.
Strana 142 - And but the booming shots replied, And fast the flames rolled on. Upon his brow he felt their breath, And in his waving hair, And looked from that lone post of death In still yet brave despair; And shouted but once more aloud,
Strana 141 - THE boy stood on the burning deck, Whence all but him had fled ; The flame that lit the battle's wreck, Shone round him o'er the dead. Yet beautiful and bright he stood, As born to rule the storm ; A creature of heroic blood, A proud, though child-like form.
Strana 88 - O, father abbot, An old man, broken with the storms of state, Is come to lay his weary bones among ye ; Give him a little earth for charity...

They wrapt the ship in splendour wild, They caught the flag on high, And streamed above the gallant child, Like banners in the sky. There came a burst of thunder sound, — The boy ! — oh, where was he ? Ask of the winds, that far around With fragments strewed the sea, — With mast, and helm, and pennon fair, That well had borne their part ; But the noblest thing that perished there, Was that young faithful heart !

Strana 121 - IT wAS a summer evening; Old Kaspar's work was done. And he before his cottage door Was sitting in the sun; And by him sported on the green His little grandchild Wilhelmine. She saw her brother Peterkin Roll something large and round. Which he beside the rivulet In playing there had found; He came to ask what he had found.
Strana 66 - that foolish thing Will strive no more to climb, When it toils so hard to reach and cling, And tumbles every time.
Strana 65 - I'll give it all up," said he. Now just at the moment a spider dropped, With its silken cobweb clue ; And the king in the midst of his thinking stopped To see what the spider would do. 'Twas a long way up to the ceiling dome, And it hung by a rope so fine ; That how it would get to its cobweb home King Bruce could not divine. It soon began to cling and crawl Straight up with strong endeavour ; But down it came with a slippery sprawl, As near to the ground as ever.
Strana 141 - Say, father, say, If yet my task is done ! " He knew not that the chieftain lay Unconscious of his son.
