Страница 30 - Are hidden and lost in the depth of the grave. The peasant whose lot was to sow and to reap ; The herdsman, who climbed with his goats up the steep; The beggar, who wandered in search of his bread, Have faded away like the grass that we tread.
Страница 31 - They loved, but their story we cannot unfold; They scorned, but the heart of the haughty is cold; They grieved, but no wail from their slumbers will come ; They joyed, but the voice of their gladness is dumb.
Страница 29 - Oh ! why should the spirit of mortal be proud ? Like a swift-fleeting meteor, a fast-flying cloud, A flash of the lightning, a break of the wave, He passeth from life to his rest in the grave.

I would," he continued, "give a great deal to know who wrote it, but I have never been able to ascertain.
Страница 41 - And now the din of battle nears the fort and sweeps obliquely by; a gleam of hope flies through the half imprisoned few; they fly to the wall; every eye is strained — it is — it is — the stars and stripes are still aloft!
