Seite 42 - On my bended knee I recognise Thy purpose clearly shown My vision Thou hast dimmed that I may see Thyself, Thyself alone " I have nought to fear ; This darkness is the shadow of Thy wing, Beneath it I am almost sacred — here Can come no evil thing.
Seite 43 - Which eye hath never seen. Visions come and go; Shapes of resplendent beauty round me throng, From angel lips I seem to hear the flow Of soft and holy song.
Seite 36 - Rescued from death by force, though pale and faint. Mine, as whom wash'd from spot of child-bed taint Purification in the old law did save...
Seite 29 - Thus with the year Seasons return, but not to me returns Day, or the sweet approach of even or morn, Or sight of vernal bloom, or summer's rose, Or flocks, or herds, or human face divine...
