Pàgina 68 - But now for me, in search of gain From shore to shore he flies: Why wander riches to obtain, When love is all I prize? IV. The frugal meal, the lowly cot If blest my love with thee! That simple fare, that humble lot, Were more than wealth to me. V. While he the dang'rous ocean braves, My tears but vainly flow: Is pity in the faithless waves To which I pour my woe?
Pàgina 177 - O never may their smiling train Pass o'er the human scene in vain ! But oft, as on the charm we gaze, Attune the wond'ring soul to praise ; And be the joys that most we prize, The joys that from thy favour rise ! WILLIAMS. SECTION XXVII. The happy end. WHEN life's tempestuous storms are o'er, How calm he meets the friendly shore, Who liv'd averse...
Pàgina 175 - And bathes in dew the op'ning flower, To thee we owe her fragrant hour; And when she pours her choral song, Her melodies to thee belong! Or when, in paler tints array'd, The evening slowly spreads her shade; That soothing shade, that grateful gloom, Can more than day's...
