Pàgina 231 - Though my heart fail, and flesh decay ; This anchor shall my soul sustain, When earth's foundations melt away ; Mercy's full power I then shall prove, Loved with an everlasting love.
Pàgina 321 - She is coming, my own, my sweet; Were it ever so airy a tread, My heart would hear her and beat, Were it earth in an earthy bed; My dust would hear her and beat, Had I lain for a century dead; Would start and tremble under her feet, And blossom in purple and red.
Pàgina 61 - RESH glides the brook and blows the gale, Yet yonder halts the quiet mill ; The whirring wheel, the rushing sail, How motionless and still ! Six days of toil, poor child of Cain, Thy strength the slave of Want may be ; The seventh thy limbs escape the chain — A God hath made thee free...
