Strana 191 - Soon, o'er thy sheltered nest. Thou'rt gone; the abyss of heaven Hath swallowed up thy form; yet on my heart Deeply has sunk the lesson thou hast given, And shall not soon depart. He who, from zone to zone, Guides through the boundless sky thy certain flight, In the long way that I must
Strana 190 - illimitable airLone wandering, but not lost. All day thy wings have fanned, At that far height, the cold, thin atmosphere, Yet stoop not, weary, to the welcome land, Though the dark night, is near. And soon that toil shall end; Soon shalt thou find a summer home, and rest, And scream among thy fellows; reeds shall
Strana 15 - vain! Man marks the earth with ruin—his control Stops with the shore; upon the watery plain The wrecks are all thy deed, nor doth remain A shadow of man's ravage; save his own, When, for a moment, like a drop of rain, He sinks into thy depths with bubbling groan, Without a grave, unknelled, uncofflned, and unknown.

Strana 56 - wroth with one we love, Doth work like madness in the brain : And thus it chanced, as I divine, With Roland and Sir Leoline. Each spake words of high disdain And insult to his heart's best brother, They parted ne'er to meet again! But never either found another To free the hollow heart from paining; They stood aloof—the scars remaining, Like cliffs
Strana 24 - banner, O long may it wave O'er the land of the free, and the home of the brave. And where is that band who so vauntingly swore That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion, A home and a country should leave us no more?
Strana 15 - HIGH PITCH. I come! I come! Ye have called me long; I come o'er the mountains with light and song; Ye may trace my steps o'er the wakening earth, By the winds which tell of the violet's birth, By the primrose stars in the shadowy grass, By the green leaves opening as I pass. From
Strana 56 - scars remaining, Like cliffs that had been rent asunder; A dreary sea now flows between; But neither heat, nor frost, nor thunder, Shall "wholly do away, I ween, The marks of that -which once hath been. ST Coleridge.
Strana 203 - best clothes having to come by sea. I was dirty from my journey; my pockets were stuffed out with shirts and stockings, and I knew no soul, nor where to look for lodging. I was fatigued with traveling, rowing, and want of rest; I -was very hungry, and my whole stock of cash consisted of a
