Seite 6 - And streVd with corn to crown the rising year ; And o'er the whole GILES once transverse again, In earth's moist bosom buries up the grain. The work is done ; no more to man is given ; The grateful Farmer trusts the rest to Heaven. Yet oft with anxious heart he looks around, And marks the first green blade that breaks the ground...
Seite 17 - Ye who can smile, to wisdom no disgrace, At the arch meaning of a kitten's face...
Seite 21 - THE FARMER'S life displays in every part A moral lesson to the sensual heart. Though in the lap of Plenty, thoughtful still, He looks beyond the present good or ill ; Nor estimates alone one blessing's worth, From changeful seasons, or capricious earth, But views the future with the present hours, And looks for failures as he looks for showers ; For casual as for certain want prepares, And round his yard the reeking haystack rears ; Or clover, blossom'd lovely to the sight, His team's rich store...
Seite 246 - I would not, for a world of gold, That Nature's lovely face should tire ; Fountain of blessings yet untold ; Pure source of intellectual fire ! Fancy's fair buds, the germs of song, Unquickened 'midst the world's rude strife, Shall sweet retirement render strong, And morning silence bring to life.
Seite 35 - And cooks had nature's judgment set aside. With thanks to heaven, and tales of rustic lore, The mansion echoes when the banquet's o'er ; A wider circle spreads, and smiles abound, ; As quick the frothing horn performs its round ; Care's mortal foe, that sprightly joys imparts. To cheer the frame and elevate their hearts.
Seite 143 - THE Lawns were dry in Euston Park; (Here Truth inspires my Tale;) The lonely footpath, still and dark, Led over Hill and Dale. Benighted was an ancient Dame, And fearful haste she made To gain the vale of Fakenham, And hail its Willow shade. Her footsteps knew no idle stops, But...
Seite 94 - Then, (raising still his Mug and voice,) ' An Old Man's weakness don't despise ! ' I love you well, my Girls and Boys ; ' GOD bless you all;
Seite 146 - Yet once again, amidst her fright, She tried what sight could do; When through the cheating glooms of night, A MONSTER stood in view. Regardless of whate'er she felt, It followM down the plain ! She own'd her sins, and down she knelt, And said her pray'rs again.
Seite 5 - No helpmates teach the docile steed his road ; (Alike unknown the plough-boy and the goad ;) But, unassisted through each toilsome day, With smiling brow the ploughman cleaves his way, Draws his fresh parallels, and, wid'ning still, Treads slow the heavy dale, or climbs the hill : Strong on the wing his busy followers play, Where writhing earth-worms meet th...
Seite 37 - Whence comes this change, ungracious, irksome, cold > Whence the new grandeur that mine eyes behold > The widening distance which I daily see, Has wealth done this ?—then wealth's a foe to me ; Foe to our rights ; that leaves a powerful few The paths of emulation to pursue...
