Página 97 - GOD. GOD of the great old solemn woods, God of the desert solitudes And trackless sea, God of the crowded city vast, God of the present and the past, Can man know Thee ? God of the blue sky overhead, Of the green earth on which we tread, Of time and space, God of the worlds which Time conceals, God of the worlds which Death reveals To all our race, From out Thy wrath the earthquakes leap And shake the world's foundation deep, Till Nature groans: In agony the mountains call, And ocean...

Heart-throbs of anguish and joy's gentle dew, Fall from a fountain Beyond the great mountain, Whose summits forever are lost in the blue. Mystery! mystery! All is a mystery! The sigh of the night winds, the song of the waves: The visions that borrow Their brightness from sorrow, The tales which flowers tell us, the voices of graves. Mystery! mystery! All is a mystery!

Página 182 - Where'er we may wander, Whate'er be our lot, The heart's first affections Still cling to the spot Where first a fond mother With rapture has prest, Or sung us to slumber, In peace on her breast. Where love first allured us, And fondly we hung On the magical music Which fell from her tongue ! Tho' wise ones may tell us 'Twas foolish and vain, Yet, when shall we drink of Such glory again ? Where hope first beguiled us, And spells o'er us cast, And told us her visions Of beauty would last; That earth...
