Strona 6 - Is it far away, in some region old, Where the rivers wander o'er sands of gold — Where the burning rays of the ruby shine, And the diamond lights up the secret mine, And the pearl gleams forth from the coral strand — Is it there, sweet mother, that better land ?

Strona 109 - IT is the first mild day of March : Each minute sweeter than before The redbreast sings from the tall larch That stands beside our door. There is a blessing in the air, Which seems a sense, of joy to yield To the bare trees, and mountains bare, And grass in the green Held.

Strona 62 - A rose's brief, bright life of joy, Such unto him was given ; Go — thou must play alone, my boy ! Thy brother is in heaven.
Strona 52 - Priestman, you style this a dull conversation, and endeavour to divert my mind from dwelling upon death, but I entertain very different sentiments. Death has no terrors for me : it is an event I always look to with cheerfulness, if not with pleasure ; and be assured, the subject is more grateful to me than any other.
Strona 49 - I wake ; Bright legions swarm unseen, and sing, unheard By mortal ear, the glorious Architect, In this his universal temple hung With lustres, with innumerable lights, That shed religion on the soul ; at once, The temple, and the preacher ! O how loud It calls devotion ! genuine growth of night ! Devotion ! daughter of astronomy ! An undevout astronomer is mad.
