Страница 230 - LOVE AT SEA. WE are in love's land to-day ; Where shall we go ? Love, shall we start or stay, Or sail or row ? There's many a wind and way, And never a May but May; We are in love's hand to-day ; Where shall we go ? Our landwind is the breath Of sorrows kissed to death And joys that were ; Our ballast is a rose; Our way lies where God knows And love knows where.

It is to build with human thoughts a shrine, Where Hope sits brooding like a beauteous dove ; Where Time seems young, and Life a thing divine. All tastes, all pleasures, all desires combine To consecrate this sanctuary of bliss. Above, the stars in cloudless beauty shine ; Around, the streams their flowery margins kiss ; And if there's heaven on earth, that heaven is surely this.

Страница 187 - But Psyche, uplifting her finger, Said - 'Sadly this star I mistrust Her pallor I strangely mistrust: Oh, hasten! - oh, let us not linger! Oh, fly! - let us fly! - for we must.
Страница 168 - twas madness to declare this truth : And yet, 'twere baseness to deny my love. 'Tis true, my hopes are vanishing as clouds ; Lighter than children's bubbles blown by winds : My merit's but the rash result of chance ; My birth unequal ; all the stars against me...
Страница 65 - WE all of us, in a great measure, create our own happiness, which is not half so much dependent upon scenes and circumstances as most people are apt to imagine.
Страница 33 - Upon earth there is not his like, who is made without fear. He beholdeth all high things: he is a king over all the children of pride.
