Strana 240 - Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord: He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored; He hath loosed the fateful lightning of his terrible swift sword: His truth is marching on.
Strana 126 - This glorious plant, transmuted by the alchemy of God, sustains the warrior in battle, the poet in song, and strengthens everywhere the thousand arms that work the purposes of life. Oh that I had the voice of song, or skill to translate into tones the harmonies, the symphonies, and oratorios that roll across my soul, when standing sometimes by day and sometimes by night upon the borders of this verdant sea, I note a world of promise, and then before one half the year is gone I view its full fruition...
Strana 141 - Ah ! never shall the land forget How gushed the life-blood of her brave — Gushed, warm with hope and courage yet, Upon the soil they fought to save. Now all is calm, and fresh and still, Alone the chirp of flitting bird, And talk of children on the hill, And bell of wandering kine are heard. No solemn host goes trailing by The black-mouthed gun and staggering...
Strana 78 - I am glad I made the late race. It gave me a hearing on the great and durable question of the age, which I could have had in no other way ; and though I now sink out of view, and shall be forgotten, I believe I have made some marks which will tell for the cause of civil liberty long after I am gone.
Strana 125 - Planted in the friendly but somber bosom of the mother earth it dies. Yea, it dies the second death, surrendering up each trace of form and earthly shape until the outward tide is stopped by the reacting vital germ which, breaking all the bonds and cerements of its sad decline, comes bounding, laughing into life and light, the fittest of all the symbols that make certain promise of the fate of man. And so it died and then it lived again. And so my people died. By some unknown, uncertain and unfriendly...
Strana 11 - When, round the bowl, of vanish'd years We talk with joyous seeming — With smiles that might as well be tears, So faint, so sad their beaming...
Strana 125 - ... comes the golden glow of promise for an industrious land. Glorious corn, that more than all the sisters of the field wears tropic garments. Nor on the shore of Nilus or of Ind does Nature dress her forms more splendidly. My God, to live again that time when for me half the world was good and the other half unknown ! And now again, the corn, that in its kernel holds the strength that shall (in the body of the man refreshed) subdue the forest and compel response from every stubborn field, or, shining...
Strana 72 - In all elections, all white male inhabitants above the age of twenty-one years, having resided in the State one year next preceding the election, and who have paid or are charged with a State or county tax, shall enjoy the right of an elector...
Strana 65 - For show pieces, I played the ' Battle of Prague ' and the ' Carnival of Venice,' then followed with ' Washington's March,' ' Come Haste to the Wedding,' and ' Woodup Quick Step ' to convince the audience that I did know a tune or two. For tragedy, I sang Henry Russel's ' Maniac ' and ' The Ship on Fire,' and then made their blood run cold with the wild wail of the ' Irish Mother's Lament.' For comic, we sang ' The Widdy McGee ' and ' I Won't Be a Nun,' topping off with ' Old Dan Tucker,' ' Lucy...
Strana 62 - ... arose at once when a lady entered the room, and whose courtly manners would put to shame the easy-going indifference to etiquette which marks the twentieth century gentleman. " His dress, like his manner, was suited to the occasion, but was evidently a subject to which he gave little thought. It was certainly unmarked by any notable peculiarity. It was the fashion of the day for men to wear...
