Страница 3 - I slept, and dreamed that life was beauty ; I woke, and found that life was duty. Was thy dream then a shadowy lie ? Toil on, sad heart, courageously, And thou shalt find thy dream to be A noonday light and truth to thee.
Страница 322 - Shall tongues be mute, when deeds are wrought Which well might shame extremest hell ? Shall freemen lock the indignant thought ? Shall Pity's bosom cease to swell ? Shall Honor bleed ? — shall Truth succumb ? Shall pen, and press, and soul be dumb...
Страница 343 - Get but the truth once uttered, and 'tis like A star new-born, that drops into its place, And which, once circling in its placid round, Not all the tumult of the earth can shake.
Страница 258 - Go, feel what I have felt, Go bear what I have borne; Sink 'neath a blow a father dealt, And the cold, proud world's scorn. Thus struggle on from year to year, Thy sole relief, the scalding tear. Go, weep as I have wept O'er a loved father's fall.

Страница 351 - ... who can endure toil, famine, stripes, imprisonment, and death itself, in vindication of his own liberty, and, the next moment, be deaf to all those motives whose power supported him...
Страница 144 - This world is full of beauty, like other worlds above And if we did our duty, it might be full of love.
Страница 85 - God gives us love. Something to love He lends us ; but, when love is grown To ripeness, that on which it throve Falls off, and love is left alone. This is the curse of time. Alas! In grief I am not all unlearn'd ; Once thro' mine own doors Death did pass ; One went, who never hath return'd.
