Страница 51 - Awakened with one deep and living thrill, Ye came, and, with your steep descent, The hollow forests waved and bent, Their leaf-lulled echoes caught the winding call Through incensed glade and rosy dell, Mixed with the breath-like pause and swell Of waters following in eternal fall, In azure waves, that just betray The music quivering in their spray, Beneath its silent seven-fold arch of day ; High in pale precipices hung The lifeless rocks of rigid marble rung, Waving the cedar crests along their...
Страница 163 - What need'st thou a diadem ? — Thou, within whose eastern eyes, Thought (a starry Genius) lies ? — Thou, whom Beauty has arrayed ? — Thou, whom Love and Truth have made Beautiful,— in whom we trace Woman's softness ; angel's grace ; All we hope for ; all that streams Upon us in our haunted dreams...
Страница 162 - The flower of gems, a lily cold and pale ! Yet, what doth all avail ? All its beauty all its grace ? All the honours of its place ? He who plucked it from its bed, In the far blue Indian ocean, Lieth, without life or motion, In his earthy dwelling — dead ! And his children, one by one, When they look upon the sun, Curse the toil, by which he drew The treasure from its bed of blue.
Страница 234 - ... returned to her seat. She had sat about a quarter of an hour, musing on her desolate situation, when a slight noise aroused her, and raising her head with a start, her eye fell on the stern countenance of Leslie Gower. She would have shrieked, but her tongue clove to the roof of her mouth, and she was unable to utter a sound.
Страница 347 - COME, — let me dive into thine eyes ! So dim, so deep, so filled with love ! Touched with soft azure, like the skies, When evening veils the light above. Come, — let me gaze upon thy hand ! No ring \ — all 's fair and virgin white ! Thy heart ? I would I could command Thy heart to open on my sight. Yet, no : I 'll trust those stars of blue...
Страница 240 - But she would not say yes, till the income was doubled : Still she clung to her home, still her eyelids were wet, But the sight of the diamonds removed her dejection ; They were brilliant in lustre, and stylishly set, And she sighed her consent to a Match of Affection. I really want language the goods to set forth, That my love-stricken Emma has gained by her marriage,— A mansion in London, a seat in the North, A service of plate, and a separate carriage : On her visiting list countless fashionists...

Страница 162 - Proctor has founded the exquisite lines entitled ';The Pearl-Wearer:"— " Within the midnight of her hair, Half-hidden in its deepest deeps, A single, peerless, priceless pearl (All filmy-eyed), for ever sleeps. Without the diamond's sparkling eyes, The ruby's blushes — there it lies, Modest as the tender dawn, When her purple...
Страница 2 - twere anew, the gaps of centuries ; Leaving that beautiful which still was so, And making that which was not, till the place Became religion, and the heart ran o'er With silent worship of the great of old ! — The dead, but sceptred sovereigns, who still rule Our spirits from their urns.
Страница 179 - Far in the depths of voiceless skies, Where calm and cold the stars are strewed, The peaks of pale Carrara rise. Nor sound of storm, nor whirlwind rude, Can break their chill of marble solitude ; The crimson lightnings round their crest May hold their fiery feud — They hear not, nor reply; their chasmed rest No flowret decks, nor herbage green, nor breath Of moving thing can change their atmosphere of death.
