עמוד vii - Lives of great men all remind us We can make our lives sublime, And, departing, leave behind us, Footprints on the sands of time; Footprints, that perhaps another, Sailing o'er life's solemn main, A forlorn and shipwrecked brother, Seeing, shall take heart again.
עמוד 204 - A sacred burden is this life ye bear, Look on it, lift it, bear it solemnly ; Stand up, and walk beneath it steadfastly ; Fail not for sorrow, falter not for sin, But onward, upward, till the goal ye win ; — God guard ye, and God guide ye on your way, Young pilgrim-warriors, who set forth to-day.
עמוד 239 - SONNET. /~\TJR course is onward, onward into light : What though the darkness gathereth amain, Yet to return or tarry both are vain. How tarry, when around us is thick night ? Whither return ? what flower yet ever might, In days of gloom and cold and stormy rain, Enclose itself in its green bud again, Hiding from wrath of tempest out of sight ? Courage — we travel through a darksome cave ; But still as nearer to the light we draw, Fresh gales will reach us from the upper air, And wholesome dews...
עמוד 74 - And forest walks, can witness The love I bear to him. I would that I could utter My feelings without shame ; And tell him how I love him, Nor wrong my virgin fame. Alas ! to seize the moment When heart inclines to heart, And press a suit with passion, Is not a woman's part. If man comes not to gather The roses where they stand, They fade among their foliage; They cannot seek his hand.
עמוד 25 - THREE years she grew in sun and shower ; Then Nature said, "A lovelier flower On earth was never sown : This child I to myself will take ; She shall be mine, and I will make A lady of my own. "Myself will to my darling be Both law and impulse ; and with me The girl, in rock and plain, In earth and heaven, in glade and bower, Shall feel an overseeing power To kindle or restrain.
עמוד 211 - But the whim we have of happiness is somewhat thus : By certain valuations, and averages, of our own striking, we come upon some sort of average terrestrial lot ; this we fancy belongs to us by nature, and of indefeasible right. It is simple payment of our wages, of our deserts ; requires neither thanks nor complaint ; only such overplus as there may be do we account happiness ; any deficit, again, is misery.
עמוד 63 - ... he took her by the hand and led her back into the cabin.
עמוד 211 - It is simple payment of our wages, of our deserts ; requires neither thanks nor complaint ; only such overplus as there may be do we account Happiness ; any deficit again is Misery. Now consider that we have the valuation of our own deserts ourselves, and what a fund of Self-conceit there is in each of us, — do you wonder that the balance should...
עמוד 122 - Another ! even now she loved another ; And on the summit of that hill she stood Looking afar , if yet her lover's steed Kept pace with her expectancy , and flew.
עמוד 204 - Life is before ye — from the fated road Ye cannot turn : then take ye up your load. Not yours to tread, or leave the unknown way, Ye must go o'er it, meet ye what ye may. Gird up your souls within ye to the deed, Angels, and fellow-spirits, bid ye speed ! What tho...
