A day of such serene enjoyment spent, Were worth an age of splendid discontent. - [Enjoyment] A mother's love--how sweet the name! What is a mother's love? --A noble, pure and tender flame, Enkindled from above, To bless a heart of earthly mould; The warmest love that can grow cold; This is a mother's love. - [Mothers] Beyond this vale of tears There is a life above, Unmeasured by the flight of years; And all that life is love. - [Future] Birds, the free tenants of earth, air, and ocean, Their forms all symmetry, their motions grace, In plumage delicate and beautiful, Thick without burthen; close as fish's scales, Or loose as full blown poppies on the gale; With wings that seem as they'd a soul within them, They bear their owners with such sweet en-chantment. - [Birds] Counts his sure gains, and hurries back for more. - [Gain] (Eternity) a moment standing still for ever. - [Eternity] Faith is the flame that lifts the sacrifice to heaven. - [Faith] Gashed with honourable scars, Low in Glory's lap they lie; Though they fell, they fell like stars, Streaming splendour through the sky. - [Glory] His steps are beauty, and His presence light. - [God] Home, kindred, friends, and country--these Are ties with which we never part; From clime to clime, o'er land and seas, We bear them with us in our heart: But, oh! 't is hard to feel resign'd, When these must all be left behind! - [Exile] My equal he will be again Down in that cold oblivious gloom, Where all the prostrate ranks of men Crowd without fellowship, the tomb. - [Equality] Night is a lively masquerade of day. - [Night] Oh! when shall I visit the land of my birth, The loveliest land on the face of the earth? When shall I those scenes of affection explore, Our forests, our fountains, Our hamlets, our mountains, With the pride of our mountains, the maid I adore? Oh! when shall I dance on the daisy-white mead, In the shade of an elm, to the sound of the reed? - [Exile] Once every atom of this ground lived, breathed, and felt like me! - [Earth] The dead are like the stars, by day Withdrawn from mortal eye, But not extinct, they hold their way In glory through the sky: Spirits from bondage thus set free, Vanish amidst immensity. Where human thought, like human sight, Fails to pursue their trackless flight. - [Death] The dew-drop in the breeze of morn, Trembling and sparkling on the thorn, Falls to the ground, escapes the eye, Yet mounts on sunbeams to the sky. - [Dew] The flower of meekness on a stem of grace. - [Meekness] The purple heath and golden broom On moory mountains catch the gale, O'er lawns the lily sheds perfume, The violet in the vale. - [Flowers] 'Tis human actions paint the chart of time. - [Action] When God reveals His march through Nature's night His steps are beauty, and His presence light. - [God] Where is the house for all the living found? Go ask the deaf, the dumb, the dead; All answer, without voice or sound, Each resting in his bed; Look down and see, Beneath thy feet, A place for thee; There all the living meet. - [Grave] With eyes Of microscopic power, that could discern The population of a dew-drop. - [Eyes] There is a flower, a little flower With silver crest and golden eye, That welcomes every changing hour, And weathers every sky. - A Field Flower [Daisies] There is a world above, Where parting is unknown; A whole eternity of love, Form'd for the good alone; And faith beholds the dying here Translated to that happier sphere. - Friends [Heaven] Fairest and best adorned is she Whose clothing is humility. - Humility [Humility] Displaying page 1 of 3 for this author: Next >> [1] 2 3
