Página 81 - But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel ; And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh : and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams: And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy...
Página 84 - Twelve years have elapsed since I last took a view Of my favourite field, and the bank where they grew ; And now in the grass behold they are laid, And the tree is my seat that once lent me a shade. The blackbird has fled to another retreat, Where the hazels afford him a screen from the heat, And the scene where his...
Página 267 - Summer is gone ; and autumn's soberer hues Tint the ripe fruits, and gild the waving corn ; The huntsman swift the flying game pursues, Shouts the halloo ! and winds his eager horn. " Spare me awhile, to wander forth and gaze On the broad meadows, and the quiet stream, To watch in silence while the evening rays Slant through the fading trees with ruddy gleam ! Cooler the breezes play around my brow ; I am content to die, — but oh ! not now...
Página 268 - The spring is come again — the joyful spring! Again the banks with clustering flowers are spread: The wild bird dips upon its wanton wing: — The child of earth is numbered with the dead!
Página 214 - And thine was many an art to win and bless, The cold and stern to joy and fondness warming; The coaxing smile, the frequent soft caress, The earnest, tearful prayer all wrath disarming! Again my heart a new affection found, But thought that love with thee had reached its bound. At length thou earnest — thou, the last and least, Nicknamed "The Emperor...
Página 214 - THOU, my merry love — bold in thy glee, Under the bough, or by the firelight dancing, With thy sweet temper, and thy spirit free — Didst come, as restless as a bird's wing glancing, Full of a wild and irrepressible mirth, Like a young sunbeam to the...
Página 82 - 1 giorno e '1 mese e 1' anno E la stagione e '1 tempo e 1' ora e '1 punto E '1 bel paese e '1 loco ov...
Página 84 - Of my favourite field, and the bank where they grew ; And now in the grass behold they are laid, And the tree is my seat that once lent me a shade ! The blackbird has fled to another retreat, Where the hazels afford him a screen from the heat, And the scene where his melody charmed me before Resounds with his sweet-flowing ditty no more.
Página v - Once more, my harp ! once more, although I thought Never to wake thy silent strings again, A -wandering dream thy gentle chords have wrought, And my sad heart, which long hath dwelt in pain, Soars, like a wild bird from a cypress bough, Into the poet's Heaven, and leaves dull grief below ! And...
Página 215 - And oh ! most like a regal child wert thou ! An eye of resolute and successful scheming ; Fair shoulders — curling lip — and dauntless brow — Fit for the world's strife, not for Poet's dreaming : And proud the lifting of thy stately head, And the firm bearing of thy conscious tread. Different from both ! Yet each succeeding claim, I, that all other love had been forswearing, Forthwith admitted, equal and the same ; Nor injured either, by this love's comparing ; Nor stole a fraction for the...
