Pàgina 48 - A BABY'S feet, like sea-shells pink, Might tempt, should heaven see meet, An angel's lips to kiss, we think, A baby's feet. Like rose-hued sea-flowers toward the heat They stretch and spread and wink Their ten soft buds that part and meet No flower-bells that expand and shrink Gleam half so heavenly sweet As shine on life's untrodden brink A baby's feet.

Pàgina 37 - The little feet that never trod Earth, never strayed in field or street, What hand leads upward back to God The little feet ?

Pàgina 50 - Then, even as warriors grip their brands When battle's bolt is hurled, They close, clenched hard like tightening bands. No rosebuds yet by dawn impearled Match, even in loveliest lands, The sweetest flowers in all the world — A baby's hands.
Pàgina 92 - THE heavenly bay, ringed round with cliffs and moors, Storm-stained ravines, and crags that lawns inlay, Soothes as with love the rocks whose guard secures The heavenly bay. O friend, shall time take ever this away, This blessing given of beauty that endures, This glory shown us, not to pass but stay ? Though sight be changed for memory, love ensures What memory, changed by love to sight, would say — The word that seals for ever mine and yours The heavenly bay.

Pàgina 32 - TRISTAN UND ISOLDE. Fate, out of the deep sea's gloom, When a man's heart's pride grows great, And nought seems now to foredoom Fate, Fate, laden with fears in wait, Draws close through the clouds that loom, Till the soul see, all too late, More dark than a dead world's tomb, More high than the sheer dawn's gate, More deep than the wide sea's womb, Fate.
Pàgina 39 - The little eyes that never knew Light other than of dawning skies, What new life now lights up anew The little eyes? Who knows but on their sleep may rise Such light as never heaven let through To lighten earth from Paradise ? No storm, we know, may change the blue Soft heaven that haply death descries ; Mo tears, like these in ours, bedew The little eyes.
