Pàgina 3 - THERE rolls the deep where grew the tree. O earth, what changes hast thou seen ! There where the long street roars, hath been The stillness of the central sea. The hills are shadows, and they flow From form to form, and nothing stands ; They melt like mist, the solid lands, Like clouds they shape themselves and go.
Pàgina 3 - ... seen! There where the long street roars hath been The stillness of the central sea. The hills are shadows, and they flow From form to form, and nothing stands; They melt like mist, the solid lands, Like clouds they shape themselves and go. But in my spirit will I dwell, And dream my dream, and hold it true; For though my lips may breathe adieu, I cannot think the thing farewell.
Pàgina 28 - Here treads the foot on springing buds, and there on velvet falls. The massy curtain's graceful flow, the vase, the painting warm, Those household echoes, mirrors bright, revealing the fair form ; Exotics that perfume the air with odors sweet and strange, And shells that far in foreign climes mid ocean wonders range, With countless gifts of taste and art, in classic beauty rife, Are laid upon her homestead shrine, and grace her daily life.
