He worships God with inward zeal, and serves him in each deed; He would...
71 ページ - Oh, how cruelly sweet are the echoes that start ; When Memory plays an old tune on the heart...
132 ページ - THERE'S a star in the west that shall never go down Till the records of valor decay ; We must worship its light, though it is not our own, For liberty burst in its ray. Shall the name of a Washington ever be heard By a freeman, and thrill not his breast?
159 ページ - His voice rung out in the merry noise, He was first in all their hopes and joys ; He ruled their sports in the setting sun, Nor gave a thought to the missing one. " Are ye ready ? " cried Death, as he raised his dart : "Nay! nay!
97 ページ - He's social with the grey-haired one, and merry with the young ; He gravely shares the council speech, or joins the rustic game ; And shines as Nature's Gentleman, in every place the same. No haughty gesture marks his gait, no pompous tone his word ; No studied attitude is seen, no...
