Страница 146 - My heart's in the Highlands, my heart is not here, My heart's in the Highlands, a-chasing the deer; A-chasing the wild deer, and following the roe, My heart's in the Highlands wherever I go...
Страница 33 - Friendship, like love, is but a name, Unless to one you stint the flame. The child, whom many fathers share, Hath seldom known a father's care.
Страница 218 - Shadows, nurs'd by night, retire : And the peeping sun-beam, now, Paints with gold the village spire. Philomel forsakes the thorn, Plaintive where she prates at night ; And the lark, to meet the morn, Soars beyond the shepherd's sight. From the...

Страница 94 - ... but it is only within the last five or six years that the profession have come to appreciate the great truths which he labored to establish.
