Σελίδα 45 - tis wiser Than sitting aside. And dreaming and sighing. And waiting the tide. In life's earnest battle They only prevail Who daily march onward And never say fail ! With an eye ever open, A tongue that's not dumb.
Σελίδα 23 - It is enough for me to know I've follies of my own, And on my heart the care bestow, And let my friends alone.
Σελίδα 18 - A LITTLE word in kindness spoken, A motion or a tear, Has often healed the heart that's broken, And made a friend sincere.
Σελίδα 58 - DON'T kill the birds — the little birds That sing about your door, Soon as the joyous Spring has come, And chilling storms are o'er. The little birds — how sweet they sing, Oh, let them joyous live, And do not seek to take their life, Which you can never give.
Σελίδα 18 - A LITTLE word in kindness spoken, A motion, or a tear, Has often healed the heart that's broken, And made a friend sincere. A word — a look — has crushed to earth Full many a budding flower, Which, had a smile but owned its birth, Would bless life's darkest hour. Then deem it not an idle thing A pleasant word to speak ; The face you wear, the thought you bring, A heart may heal or break.
Σελίδα 58 - Twould make the earth a cheerless place, Should we dispense with these. The little birds, how fond they play ! Do not disturb their sport ; But let them warble forth their songs, Till winter cuts them short. Don't kill the birds, the happy birds, That bless the fields and grove ; So innocent to look upon, They claim our warmest love.
Σελίδα 46 - ... earnest battle They only prevail Who daily march onward And never say fail ! With an eye ever open, A tongue that's not dumb, And a heart that will never To sorrow succumb— You'll battle and conquer Though thousands assail ; How strong and how mighty ! Who never say fail ! The spirit of angels Is active, I know, As higher and higher In glory they go ; Methinks on bright pinions From Heaven they sail, To cheer and encourage Who never say fail ! THE DOERS OF THE WORD.
Σελίδα 58 - Dont kill the birds — the pretty birds That play among the trees ; 'Twould make the earth a cheerless place, To see no more of these.
Σελίδα 153 - Honour to him who shuns to do An action mean or low ; Who will a nobler course pursue To stranger, friend or foe ; Who seeks for justice more than gain, Is merciful and kind ; Who will not cause a needless pain In body or in mind.
Σελίδα 46 - Is active, I know, As higher and higher In glory they go, Methinks on bright pinions From Heaven they sail, To cheer and encourage Who never say fail! Ahead, then, keep pushing, And elbow your way, Unheeding the envious, And asses that bray; All obstacles vanish, All enemies quail, In the might of their wisdom Who never say fail!
