How often from the steep Of echoing hill or thicket have we heard Celestial voices to the midnight air, Sole, or responsive each to other's note, Singing their great Creator ! oft in bands While they keep watch, or nightly rounding walk, With heavenly touch of instrumental sounds, In full harmonic number join'd, their songs Divide the night,...
Página 390 - Yet had she many days Of sorrow in the world, but never wept. She lived on alms, and carried in her hand Some withered stalks she gathered in the spring. When any asked the cause, she smiled and said, They were her sisters, and would come and watch Her grave when she was dead.

Página 76 - Was sadder still, the saddest seen in Time . A man, to-day, the glory of his kind, In reason clear, in understanding large, In judgment sound, in fancy quick, in hope Abundant, and in promise, like a field Well cultured, and refreshed with dews from God ; To-morrow, chained, and raving mad, and whipped By servile hands ; sitting on dismal straw, And gnashing with his teeth against the chain, The iron chain, that bound him hand and foot , And trying whiles...
Página 163 - On the pulps of the fingers, where the ridges of the sensitive layer of the true skin are somewhat finer than in the palm of the hand, the number of pores on a square inch a little exceeded that of the palm ; and on the heel, where the ridges are coarser, the number of pores on the square inch was 2268, and the length of tube 567 inches, or 47 feet.
