Seite 40 - Not in the sunshine and the smile of heaven, But wrapt in whirlwinds, and begirt with woes, Amidst the strife of fratricidal foes ; Her birth-star was the light of burning plains ; Her baptism is the weight of blood that flows From kindred hearts — the blood of British veins — And famine tracks her steps, and pestilential pains.
Seite 235 - Give me more love or more disdain! The torrid or the frozen zone Bring equal ease unto my pain, The temperate affords me none; Either extreme of love or hate Is sweeter than a calm estate.
