Pagina 21 - I will sing unto the LORD, for he hath triumphed gloriously : The horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea. The LORD is my strength and song, And he is become my salvation : He is my God, and I will prepare him an habitation ; My father's God, and I will exalt him.

Yet in the long years liker must they grow ; The man be more of woman, she of man; He gain in sweetness and in moral height, Nor lose the wrestling thews that throw the world ; She mental breadth, nor fail in childward care, Nor lose the childlike in the larger mind ; Till at the last she set herself to man, Like perfect music unto...
Pagina 102 - O well for the sailor lad. That he sings in his boat on the bay! And the stately ships go on To their haven under the hill; But O for the touch of a vanish'd hand, And the sound of a voice that is still ! Break, break, break, At the foot of thy crags, O sea!
