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] Dipp'd in the hues of sunset, wreath'd in zones, The clouds are resting on their mountain-thrones; One peak alone exalts its glacier crest, A golden paradise, above the rest; Thither the day with lingering steps retires, And in its own blue element expires. - [Sunset] (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] I travel all the irksome night, By ways to me unknown; I travel, like a bird of flight, Onward, and all alone. - [Travel] 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] Mystery of waters, never slumbering sea! - [Sea] Night is a lively masquerade of day. - [Night] O Thou by whom we come to God-- The Life, the Truth, the Way; The path of prayer Thyself hast trod; Lord, teach us how to pray. - [Prayer] 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] Prayer is the Christian's vital breath, The Christian's native air; His watchword at the gates of death,-- He enters heaven with prayer. - [Prayer] 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] The soul, immortal as its sire, shall never die. - [Soul] The upward glancing of an eye when none but God is near. - [Prayer] Displaying page 1 of 3 for this author: Next >> [1] 2 3
