Seite 249 - ABOU BEN ADHEM (may his tribe increase!) Awoke one night from a deep dream of peace, And saw within the moonlight in his room, Making it rich and like a lily in bloom, An angel writing in a book of gold: Exceeding peace had made Ben Adhem bold, And to the presence in the room he said, "What writest thou?"

Seite 67 - ... father once more ; yet she carefully concealed her grief and sighs from her spouse, not to afflict his heart, for she loved him dearly.

Seite 34 - At last came one of a noble name, By the city counted the wealthiest dame, And the pearls that o'er her neck were strung She proudly there to the beggar flung. Then followed a maiden young and fair, Adorned with clusters of golden hair ; But her dress was thin, and scanty, and worn, Not even the beggar seemed more forlorn. With a tearful look, and a pitying sigh, She whispered soft, "No jewels have I — But I give you my prayers, good friend," said she, " And surely I know God listens to me.
Seite 232 - And he fell far through that pit abysmal, The gulf and grave of Maginn and Burns, And pawned his soul for the devil's dismal Stock of returns.
