31 ページ - And pass not thou between The weary traveller and the cooling breeze, And lie not down to sleep beneath the trees Where human tracks are seen; Nor milk the goat that browseth on the plain, Nor pluck the standing corn, or yellow grain. And now depart! and when Thy heart is heavy, and...

38 ページ - To check the sceptic's laughter ? Come from the grave to-morrow with that story, And I may take some softer path to glory. " No, no, old man ! We die Even as the flowers, and we shall breathe away Our life upon the chance wind even as they.
