To her fair works did nature link The human soul that through me ran ; And much it grieved my heart to think What man has made of man.

Seite 176 - This single stick, which you now behold ingloriously lying in that neglected corner, I once knew in a flourishing state in a forest: it was full of sap, full of leaves, and full of boughs: but now, in vain does the busy art of man pretend to vie with nature, by tying that withered bundle of twigs to its sapless trunk...
Seite 293 - Joying to hear the birds' sweet harmony, Which therein shrouded from the tempest dread, Seem'd in their song to scorn the cruel sky. Much can they praise the trees so straight and high, The sailing Pine, the Cedar proud and tall, The vine-prop Elm, the Poplar never dry, The builder Oak, sole king of forests all, The Aspen good for staves, the Cypress funeral ; The...
Seite 24 - Wherefore if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to-morrow is cast into the oven ; shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith ; therefore take no thought saying, What shall we eat ? or what shall we drink?
