Pàgina 354 - SO all night long the storm roared on : The morning broke without a sun ; In tiny spherule traced with lines Of Nature's geometric signs, In starry flake, and pellicle, All day the hoary meteor fell ; And, when the second morning shone, We looked upon a world unknown, 3 On nothing we could call our own.
Pàgina 178 - The quality of mercy is not strained; It droppeth, as the gentle rain from heaven Upon the place beneath : it is twice blessed; It blesseth him that gives, and him that takes...
Pàgina 130 - Thou art my hiding place; thou shalt preserve me from trouble; thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance.
