X.
Pàgina 23 - He giveth snow like wool : he scattereth the hoar-frost like ashes. He casteth forth his ice like morsels : who can stand before his cold ? He sendeth out his word, and melteth them : he causeth his wind to blow, and the waters flow.

Pàgina 14 - THESE are the gardens of the Desert, these The unshorn fields, boundless and beautiful, For which the speech of England has no name — The Prairies. I behold them for the first, And my heart swells, while the dilated sight Takes in the encircling vastness.

Pàgina 73 - That no aggression shall be sanctioned upon the Natives residing beyond the limits of the Colony, under any plea whatever, by any private person, or any body of men, unless acting under the immediate authority and orders of the Government. 3d.

Pàgina 252 - Another Flora there, of bolder hues, And richer sweets, beyond our garden's pride, Plays o'er the fields, and showers with sudden hand Exuberant spring...
Pàgina 23 - O Lord, my God, thou art very great ; thou art clothed with honour and majesty; who coverest thyself with light as with a garment ; who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain ; who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters; who maketh the clouds his chariots; who walketh upon the wings of the wind...
Pàgina 262 - YE field flowers ! the gardens eclipse you, 'tis true, Yet, wildings of Nature, I dote upon you, For ye waft me to summers of old, When the earth teemed around me with fairy delight And when daisies and buttercups gladdened my sight, Like treasures of silver and gold.
