Page 307 - My heart leaps up when I behold A rainbow in the sky : So was it when my life began ; So is it now I am a man ; So be it when I shall grow old, Or let me die ! " The child is father of the man ; And I could wish my days to be Bound each to each by natural piety.
Page 509 - The times have been That, when the brains were out, the man would die, And there an end ; but now they rise again, With twenty mortal murders on their crowns, And push us from our stools.
Page 453 - And the night-rack came rolling up ragged and brown ! But men must work and women must weep, Though storms be sudden and waters deep, And the harbour 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.

Page 453 - Three fishers went sailing out into the West — Out into the West as the sun went down; Each thought of the woman who loved him the best, And the children stood watching them out of the town: For men must work, and women must weep; And there's little to earn, and many to keep, Though the harbor bar be moaning.
Page 288 - The melancholy days are come, the saddest of the year, Of wailing winds and naked woods, and meadows brown and sere. Heaped in the hollows of the grove, the autumn leaves lie dead ; They rustle to the eddying gust, and to the rabbit's tread. The robin and the wren are flown, and from the shrubs the jay, And from the wood-top calls the crow through all the gloomy day. Where are the flowers, the fair young flowers...
