Pàgina 335 - But when Paul perceived that the one part were Sadducees, and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council, Men and brethren, I am a Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee: of the hope and resurrection of the dead I am called in question.
Pàgina 46 - She faded midst Italian flowers — The last of that bright band. And parted thus they rest, who played Beneath the same green tree ; Whose voices mingled as they prayed Around one parent knee...
Pàgina 253 - I was not ever thus, nor prayed that thou shouldst lead me on; I loved to choose and see my path; but now lead thou me on. I loved the garish day, and, spite of fears, pride ruled my will: remember not past years. So long thy power hath blest me, sure it still will lead me on, o'er moor and fen, o'er crag and torrent, till the night is gone, and with the morn those angel faces smile, which I have loved long since, and lost awhile.
Pàgina 46 - THEY grew in beauty side by side, They filled one home with glee, Their graves are severed far and wide, By mount, and stream, and sea. The same fond mother bent at night O'er each fair sleeping brow, She had each folded flower in sight— Where are those dreamers now? One midst the...

Four voices of four hamlets round, From far and near, on mead and moor, Swell out and fail, as if a door Were shut between me and the sound : Each voice four changes on the wind, That now dilate, and now decrease, Peace...
Pàgina 341 - God and man ; who did humble himself, even to the death upon the cross, for us miserable sinners, who lay in darkness, and the shadow of death ; that he might make us the children of God, and exalt us to everlasting life.
Pàgina 338 - More things are wrought by prayer than this world dreams of. Wherefore, let thy voice rise like a fountain for me night and day. For what are men better than sheep or goats that nourish a blind life within the brain, if, knowing God, they lift not hands of prayer both for themselves and those who call them friend?
Pàgina 348 - For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink ; and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost, even from his mother's womb.
Pàgina 271 - ... that's not your fault and is partly mine, — You might have lasted longer with more care, And still looked something like your first design; And even now, with all your wear and tear, 'Tis pitiful to think I must resign You to the friendless grave, the patient prey Of all the hungry legions of decay, But you must stay, dear body, and I go, And I was once so very proud of you! You made my mother's eyes to overflow When first she saw you, wonderful and new, And now, with all your faults, 'twere...
Pàgina 158 - THE CHIEFTAIN'S CORONACH. Far from his mountain-peaks and monrlauds brown, Far from the rushing thunder of the Spey, Amid the din and turmoil of the town A Highland Chieftain on his death-bed lay ; Dying in pride of...
