Thy soul was like a Star, and dwelt apart ; Thou hadst a voice whose sound was like the sea : Pure as the naked heavens, majestic, free, 1 So didst thou travel on life's common way, In cheerful godliness ; and yet thy heart The lowliest duties on herself did lay.
Seite 66 - Whom have I in heaven but thee : and there is none upon earth that I desire in comparison of thee ? My flesh and my heart faileth : but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever.
Seite 112 - It is an awful moment when the soul begins to find that the props on which it has blindly rested so long are, many of them, rotten, and begins to suspect them all ; when it begins to feel the nothingness of many of the traditionary opinions which 112 THE DARK HOUR. have been received with implicit confidence, and in that horrible insecurity begins also to doubt whether there be anything to believe at all.
