Seite 17 - In all places, then, and in all seasons, Flowers expand their light and soullike wings, Teaching us, by most persuasive reasons, How akin they are to human things. And with childlike, credulous affection We behold their tender buds expand ; Emblems of our own great resurrection Emblems of the bright and better land.
Seite 19 - Being made perfect in a short space, he fulfilled a long time : for his soul pleased God : therefore he hastened to bring him out of the midst of iniquities.
Seite 22 - ... there is in that blest seat From whence ye flow. Obedience — it is love, And where love is is harmony ; Therefore the stars that range above Throughout the infinite in order roving, As through the shoreless space they fly, We deem to thread their maze to music high, In some melodious measure moving; And all we know of Angels blest Is that they love and they obey, And sing alway, Ever singing, ever loving, In the mansions of their rest, Around the throne where God is manifest.
Seite 3 - Beneath an ash-tree's light-green shade, There side by side the Three are laid — Laid by that church-yard gate at last, Whereby they oft together pass'd. That ash puts on and drops its leaves, When the dishevell'd Autumn grieves : But no rude change again shall come, To reach them in their peaceful home. When Death first op'd the silent door, The youth arose, and went before, And so from places of the blest Grief came to be his parents' guest, To fit them for his happier rest.
