Side 250 - THE burden of Tyre. Howl, ye ships of Tarshish ; for it is laid waste, so that there is no house, no entering in : from the land of Chittim it is revealed to them. Be still, ye inhabitants of the isle ; thou whom the merchants of Zidon, that pass over the sea, have replenished.
Side 110 - And shapes were there, like spirits of the flowers, Sent down to see the Summer-beauties dress, And feed their fragrant mouths with silver showers ; Their eyes peeped out from many a green recess, And their fair forms made light the thick-set bowers ; The very flowers seemed eager to caress Such living sisters, and the boughs long-leaved, Clustered to catch the sighs their pearl-flushed bosoms heaved.
Side 250 - The Lord of hosts hath purposed it, To stain the pride of all glory, And to bring into contempt all the honourable of the earth.
Side 320 - And stalkcth in its sun ! Glad childhood needs the lore of time To show the phantom overhead ; But where the breast, before its prime, That carrieth not its dead — The moon that looketh on whose home In all its circuit sees no tomb ? It was an ancient tyrant's thought, To link the living with the dead ; Some secret of his soul had taught That lesson dark and dread ; And, oh ! we bear about us still The dreary moral of his art — Some form that lieth, pale and chill, Upon...
Side 286 - ... uttered a long and earnest exhortation to him never to attend mass in any way whatever, and that if he disobeyed her in that, he might be assured she would disinherit him, and no longer consider herself as his mother.
Side 109 - It seemed like Eden's angel-peopled vale, So bright the sky, so soft the streams did flow ; Such tones came riding on the musk-winged gale, The very air seemed sleepily to blow ; And choicest flowers enamelled every dale, Flushed with the richest sunlight's rosy glow: It was a valley drowsy with delight, Such fragrance floated round, such beauty dimmed the sight.
Side 112 - Thetis' nymphs along the shore, With ocean-pearl combing their golden locks, And singing to the waves for evermore — Sinking, like flowers at eve, beside the rocks. If but a sound above the muffled roar Of the low waves was heard. In little flocks Others went trooping through the wooded alleys, Their kirtles glancing white, like streams in sunny valleys. They were such forms as, imaged in the night, Sail in our dreams across the heaven's steep blue, When the closed lid sees visions streaming bright,...
Side 180 - Whose thoughts have now no home — nor rest — That wreathed, with unregarded light, Thy steps by day, and sleep by night. Then when the wildest word is past, And when mine eyes have looked their last, Be every barrier earth can twine Cast in between my soul and thine, — The wave, the wild, the steel, the flame, And all that word or will can frame : When God shall call or man shall claim, Depart from me, and let thy name Be uttered in mine ears with dread, As only meaning — what is dead —...
Side 111 - T was as if Love stood at himself reviling : She threw in flowers, and watched them float away, Then at her beauty looked, then sang a sweeter lay. Others on beds of roses lay reclined, The regal flowers athwart their full lips thrown, And in one fragrance both their sweets combined, As if they on the self-same stem had grown ; So close were rose and lip together twined, A double flower that from one bud had blown, Till none could tell, so sweetly were they blended, Where swelled the curving lip,...
Side 321 - Wherever spreads vnn firmament. A few short years, and then the boy Shall miss, beside the household hearth, Some treasure from his store of joy, To find it not on earth. A shade within its saddened walls Shall sit, in some belove'd's room. And one dear name he vainly calls, Be written on a tomb ; — And he have learnt, from all beneath, His first...
