Σελίδα 243 - Then, where of Indian hills the daylight takes His leave, how might you the flamingo see Disporting like a meteor on the lakes — And playful squirrel on his nut-grown tree : And every sound of life was full of glee, From merry mock-bird's song, or hum of men ; While hearkening, fearing nought their revelry, The wild deer arch'd his neck from glades, and then, Unhunted, sought his woods and wilderness again.
Σελίδα 244 - But this is not a time," — he started up, And smote his breast with wo-denouncing hand — " This is no time to fill the joyous cup ! The Mammoth comes — the foe — the Monster Brandt ! With all his howling desolating band ; These eyes have seen their blade and burning pine Awake at once, and silence half your land.
Σελίδα 244 - Monster Brandt, With all his howling desolating band — These eyes have seen their blade and burning pine Awake at once, and silence half your land. Red is the cup they drink ; but not with wine : Awake, and watch to-night, or see no morning shine...

Σελίδα 172 - A wedding engaged the attention of a whole neighborhood ; and the frolic was anticipated by old and young with eager expectation. This is not to be wondered at, when it is told that a wedding was almost the only gathering which was not accompanied with the labor of reaping, log-rolling, building a cabin, or planning some scout or campaign.
Σελίδα 246 - Nature hath made thee lovelier than the power Even of Campbell's pen hath pictured : he Had woven, had he gazed one sunny hour Upon thy smiling vale, its scenery With more of truth, and made each rock and tree Known like old friends, and greeted from afar : And there are tales of sad reality, In the dark legends of thy border war, With woes of deeper tint than his own Gertrude's are.
Σελίδα 84 - Germans who, having received in their youth a "classical education," have passed through varied adventures and often present the most startling paradoxes of thought and personal appearance. I have seen a man bearing a keg, a porter, who could speak Latin fluently. I have been in a beer-shop kept by a man who was distinguished in the Frankfort Parliament. I have found a graduate of the University of Munich in a negro minstrel troupe. And while mentioning these as...
Σελίδα 246 - There's one in the next field — of sweet sixteen — Singing and summoning thoughts of beauty born In heaven — with her jacket of light green, " Love-darting eyes, and tresses like the morn," Without a shoe or stocking — hoeing corn.
Σελίδα 100 - Majesty, it's requisite that in the first place they should take the oath of allegiance, or some equivalent to it to his Majesty, and promise fidelity to the proprietor and obedience to our established constitution; and therefore, until some proper remedy can be had from home, to prevent the importation of such numbers of strangers into this or others of his Majesty's colonies.
