Página 77 - Leave me, O Love, which reachest but to dust ; And thou, my mind, aspire to higher things ; Grow rich in that which never taketh rust ; Whatever fades, but fading pleasure brings. Draw in thy beams, and humble all thy might To that sweet yoke where lasting freedoms be ; Which breaks the clouds, and opens forth the light, That doth both shine, and give us sight to see.

Página 283 - And bend each wandering step to this one end — That, one day, out of darkness, they shall meet And read life's meaning In each other's eyes.

All birds that love the English sky Throng round my path when she is by : The blackbird from a neighboring thorn With music brims the cup of morn, And in a thick, melodious rain The mavis pours her mellow strain.

Página 229 - But for those obstinate questionings Of sense and outward things, Fallings from us, vanishings; Blank misgivings of a creature Moving about in worlds not realized, High instincts before which our mortal nature Did tremble like a guilty thing surprised...
Página 379 - Read!" continued the angel; the prophet declared that he was unable to read. " Read !" Gabriel again exclaimed, " read, in the name of thy Lord, who hath created all things; who hath created man of congealed blood.
Página 136 - DREAMT I to-day the dream of yesternight, Sleep ever feigning one evolving theme, — Of my two lives which should I call the dream ? Which action vanity? which vision sight? Some greater waking must pronounce aright, If aught abideth of the things that seem, And with both currents swell the flooded stream Into an ocean infinite of light.
