Seite 463 - An' dreamin' arl the time o' Plymouth Hoe, "Take my drum to England, hang et by the shore, Strike et when your powder's runnin' low; If the Dons sight Devon, I'll quit the port o' Heaven, An' drum them up the Channel as we drummed them long ago." Drake he's in his hammock till the great Armadas come, (Capten, art tha sleepin' there below?) Slung atween the round shot, listenin' for the drum, And dreamin' arl the time o
Seite 101 - As one may see the burden'd bee Forth issue from the rose. Affections are as thoughts to her, The measures of her hours; Her feelings have the fragrancy, The freshness of young flowers; And lovely passions, changing oft, So fill her, she appears The image of themselves by turns, — The idol of past years...

Seite 101 - Of her bright face one glance will trace A picture on the brain, And of her voice in echoing hearts A sound must long remain; But memory, such as mine of her, So very much endears, When death is nigh, my latest sigh Will not be life's but hers. I...
Seite 463 - Armadas come, (Capten, art tha sleepin' there below?), Slung atween the round shot, listenin' for the drum, An' dreamin' arl the time o' Plymouth Hoe. Call him on the deep sea, call him up the Sound, Call him when ye sail to meet the foe; Where the old trade's plyin' an* the old flag flyin", They shall find him ware an' wakin', as they found him long ago!
Seite 110 - This dread to take our daily way, and walk in it again ; We know not to what other sphere the loved who leave us go, Nor why we're left to wonder still : nor why we do not know. But this we know : Our loved and dead, if they should come this day — Should come and ask us, "What is life?
Seite 217 - I sprang the proffered life to clasp; — The beaker fell ; the luck was over. The Earth has drunk the vintage up ; What boots it patch the goblet's splinters ?
