Popular passages
Page 203 - And then shall I behold Him, by whose kind paternal side I sprung, And her, who, still and cold, Fills the next grave — the beautiful and young.
Page 225 - She is not fair to outward view As many maidens be, Her loveliness I never knew Until she smiled on me ; Oh ! then I saw her eye was bright, A well of love, a spring of light.

Page 33 - AN OLD MAN'S WISH. I HAVE lived, and I have loved, Have lived and loved in vain ; Some joys, and many woes have proved, That may not be again ; My heart is cold, my eye is sere, Joy wins no smile, and grief no tear. Fain would I hope, if hope I could, If sure to be deceived, There's comfort in a thought of good, Tho' 'tis not quite believed — For sweet is hope's wild warbled air, But — Oh — its echo is despair.
Page 204 - The love that lived through all the stormy past, And meekly with my harsher nature bore, And deeper grew, and tenderer to the last, Shall it expire with life and be no more?
