155 ページ - What wealth untold, Far down, and shining through their stillness, lies! Thou hast the starry gems, the burning gold, Won from ten thousand royal Argosies. Sweep o'er thy spoils, thou wild and wrathful Main ! Earth claims not these again! Yet more, the Depths have more ! — Thy waves have roll'd Above the cities of a world gone by!

155 ページ - Give back the lost and lovely! — those for whom The place was kept at board and hearth so long, The prayer went up through midnight's breathless gloom, And the vain yearning woke 'midst festal song ! Hold fast thy buried isles, thy towers o'erthrown — But all is not thine own.

215 ページ - Oh ! mark the great, the liberal Hand, That scatters blessings o'er the land ; And to the God of Nature raise The grateful song, the hymn of praise. The infant corn, in vernal hours, He nurtured with his gentle showers, And bade the summer clouds diffuse Their balmy store of genial dews. He...
12 ページ - There is a tear of sweet relief— A tear of rapture and of grief; The feeling heart alone can know What soft emotions bid it flow. It is when memory charms the mind With tender images refined ; 'Tis when her magic spells restore Departed friends and joys no more.
155 ページ - Yet more, the Depths have more ! — What wealth untold Far down, and shining through their stillness lies ! Thou hast the starry gems, the burning gold, Won from ten thousand royal Argosies.
