Seite 171 - Never to be again ! But many more of the kind As good, nay, better perchance : is this your comfort to me ? To me, who must be saved because I cling with my mind To the same, same self, same love, same God: ay, what was, shall be.

Seite 143 - twas only in my dreams. Dread Power ! whom peace and calmness serve No less than Nature's threatening voice, If aught unworthy be my choice, From THEE if I would swerve, Oh, let thy grace remind me of the light Full early lost, and fruitlessly deplored...
Seite 134 - Almighty's mysteries to read In the large volumes of the skies. For the bright firmament Shoots forth no flame So silent, but is eloquent In speaking the Creator's name. No unregarded star Contracts its light Into so small a character, Remov'd far from our human sight; But if we steadfast look We shall discern In it, as in some holy book, How man may heavenly knowledge learn.
