Σελίδα 124 - You run about, my little maid, Your limbs they are alive ; If two are in the churchyard laid, Then ye are only five.' ' Their graves are green, they may be seen,' The little maid replied, ' Twelve steps or more from my mother's door, And they are side by side.
Σελίδα 125 - And when the ground was white with snow, And I could run and slide, My brother John was forced to go, And he lies by her side." "How many are you, then," said I, "If they two are in heaven?
Σελίδα 154 - ... Continuous as the stars that shine And twinkle on the milky way, They stretched in never-ending line Along the margin of a bay: Ten thousand saw I at a glance, Tossing their heads in sprightly dance. The waves beside them danced ; but they Out-did the sparkling waves in glee : A poet could not but be gay, In such a jocund company: I gazed — and gazed — but little thought What wealth the show to me had brought...

Σελίδα 140 - Rip's heart died away at hearing of these sad changes in his home and friends, and finding himself thus alone in the world.
