第 54 頁 - THERE be none of Beauty's daughters With a magic like thee ; And like music on the waters Is thy sweet voice to me : When, as if its sound were causing The charmed ocean's pausing, The waves lie still and gleaming, And the lull'd winds seem dreaming, And the midnight moon is weaving Her bright chain o'er the deep ; Whose breast is gently heaving, As an infant's asleep : So the spirit bows before thee, To listen...
第 52 頁 - Through torrid tracts with fainting steps they go, Where wild Altama murmurs to their woe. Far different there from all that charm'd before, The various terrors of that horrid shore : Those blazing suns that dart a downward ray, And fiercely shed intolerable day; Those matted woods where birds forget to sing, But silent bats in drowsy clusters cling; Those poisonous fields with rank luxuriance crown'd, Where the dark scorpion gathers death around; Where at each step the stranger fears to wake The...
第 30 頁 - Though storms be sudden, and waters deep, And the harbor bar be moaning. Three corpses lay out on the shining sands In the morning gleam as the tide went down, And the women are weeping and wringing their hands For those who will never come back to the town; For men must work, and women must weep, And the sooner it's over the sooner to sleep — And good-by to the bar and its moaning.
第 84 頁 - Farewell, sweet sister," parted all in tears. Then rose the dumb old servitor, and the dead Steer'd by the dumb went upward with the flood — In her right hand the lily, in her left The letter — all her bright hair streaming down — And all the coverlid was cloth of gold Drawn to her waist, and she herself in white All but her face, and that clear- featured face Was lovely, for she did not seem as dead But fast asleep, and lay as tho...
第 60 頁 - Three blind mice, three blind mice, See how they run, see how they run, They all ran after the farmer's wife, She cut off their tails with a carving knife, Did you ever see such a sight in your life As three blind mice?
第 52 頁 - Ah, no. To distant climes, a dreary scene, Where half the convex world intrudes between, Through torrid tracts with fainting steps they go, Where wild Altama murmurs to their woe. Far...
第 63 頁 - We reached the statue with the sun. We listened for the wished-for sound. In vain, in Vain ! 'twas heard by none. Deep silence brooded all around. When lo, a lark with wings outspread Soared O how joyfully along, And poised, it seemed, above my head Dissolved herself in sweetest song. O GOD (thought I), Thy works abide While Man's inventions haste away : Or if these stem awhile the tide, Their nobler uses, where are they ? Thy works not so ! These mock at Time. The music of the heavenly lute Will...
第 50 頁 - The fine-wove turban from her golden hair Had fallen ; the light robe no longer stole Over her bosom bare. Loose dropped the well-wrought girdle from her breast, That wildly struggled to be free: they lay About her feet, and many a briny crest Kissed them in careless play. But nought she recked of turban then, and nought Of silken garments flowing gracefully.
第 52 頁 - Where the dark scorpion gathers death around; Where at each step the stranger fears to wake The rattling terrors of the vengeful snake; Where crouching tigers wait their hapless prey, And savage men more murderous still than they: While oft in whirls the mad tornado flies, Mingling the ravaged landscape with the skies.
第 107 頁 - The manners and the wisdom of their sires ! Resembling more some marvel of the past Than aught of modern fashion. Let me long Cherish thy precious mem'ry ! long retain The image of thy venerable form Stooping beneath its century of years, And wrapped in solemn academic robes, Cassock, and scarf, and buckles, bands and wig, And such a face as none beheld before Save in an ancient frame on College walls, And heard of as ' the portrait of a grave And learn'd Divine who flourished years ago.
