Seite 124 - THE evening was glorious, and light through the trees Play'd the sunshine and rain-drops, the birds and the breeze; The landscape, outstretching in loveliness, lay On the lap of the year, in the beauty of May.

Seite 124 - Spring, as she pass'd down the 'vale, Left her robe on the trees, and her breath on the gale ; And the smile of her promise gave joy to the hours, And 'flush, in her footsteps, sprang 'herbage and flowers.
Seite 132 - Earth so rich a treasure, Wherein too fine the ware, too scant the measure. His mournful wife, her love to show in part, This tombe built here ; a better in her heart.
Seite 114 - The soften'd worth, which makes affections tear, And all that brightens in life's social day, Lost in the shades of death, may pass away ; Fast comes the hour when no fond heart shall know How loved was once the sacred dust below. Here cease the triumphs which the grave obtains, The man may perish, but the sage remains. Freedom and Peace shall tell to many an age Thy warning counsels, thy prophetic page ; Art, taught by thee, shall o'er the burning frame The healing freshness pour, and bless thy...
