About him, and above, and round the wood, The birds that haunt the borders of his flood, That bathed within, or basked upon his side, To tuneful songs their narrow throats applied.
Seite 103 - For they that led us away captive, required of us then a song, and melody in our heaviness : Sing us one of the songs of Sion. 4 How shall we sing the LORD'S song in a strange land?
Seite 4 - With sharpen'd sight pale antiquaries pore, Th' inscription value, but the rust adore : This, the blue varnish, that the green endears, The sacred rust of twice ten hundred years.
Seite 42 - His father's heir, and from his tender wings Shakes off his parent dust ; his method he pursues, And the same lease of life on the same terms renews : When grown to manhood he begins his reign, And with stiff pinions can his flight sustain...
