Σελίδα 85 - Gainst the self-will of England fought ; And here were men (coequal with their fate), Who did great things, unconscious they were great. They dreamed not what a die was cast With, that first answering shot ; what then ? There was their duty ; they were men Schooled the soul's inward gospel to obey, Though leading to the lion's den.
Σελίδα 86 - And yet the enduring half they chose, Whose choice decides a man life's slave or king, The invisible things of God before the seen and known : Therefore their memory inspiration blows With echoes gathering on from zone to zone; For manhood is the one immortal thing Beneath Time's changeful sky, And, where it lightened once, from age to age, Men come to learn, in grateful pilgrim«Яе, That length of days is knowing when to vrn.
Σελίδα 48 - Look upon Zion, the city of our solemnities: thine eyes shall see Jerusalem a quiet habitation, a tabernacle that shall not be taken down; not one of the stakes thereof shall ever be removed, neither shall any of the cords thereof be broken.
Σελίδα 129 - A hurry of hoofs in a village street, A shape in the moonlight; a bulk in the dark, And beneath, from the pebbles, in passing, a spark Struck out by a steed flying fearless and fleet: That was all! and yet, through the gloom and the light, The fate of a nation was riding that night; And the spark struck out by that steed, in his flight, Kindled the land into flame with its heat.
