Pagina 22 - All things to man's delightful use. The roof Of thickest covert was inwoven shade, Laurel and myrtle, and what higher grew Of firm and fragrant leaf ; on either side Acanthus, and each odorous bushy shrub, Fenced up the verdant wall ; each beauteous flower, Iris all hues, roses and jessamine, Reared high their flourished heads between, and wrought Mosaic ; underfoot the violet, Crocus, and hyacinth, with rich inlay Broidered the ground, more coloured than with stone Of costliest emblem : other creature...
Pagina 11 - Since once I sat upon a promontory, And heard a mermaid, on a dolphin's back, Uttering such dulcet and harmonious breath, That the rude sea grew civil at her song ; And certain stars shot madly from their spheres, To hear the sea-maid's music.
Pagina 9 - Of fruits and flowers, and bunches of knot-grass, And diamonded with panes of quaint device, Innumerable of stains and splendid dyes, As are the tiger-moth's deep-damask'd wings; And in the midst, 'mong thousand heraldries, And twilight saints, and dim emblazonings, A shielded scutcheon blush'd with blood of queens and kings.
Pagina 23 - ... experienced eye. Be it the summer noon : a sandy space The ebbing tide has left upon its place : Then just the hot and stony beach above, Light twinkling streams in bright confusion move ; (For heated thus, the warmer air ascends, And with the cooler in its fall contends), — Then the broad bosom of the ocean keeps An equal motion ; swelling as it sleeps, Then slowly sinking ; curling to the strand, — Faint, lazy waves o'ercreep the ridgy sand, DD Or tap the tarry boat with gentle blow, And...
Pagina 23 - Then the broad bosom of the ocean keeps An equal motion, swelling as it sleeps, Then slowly sinking; curling to the strand, Faint, lazy waves o'ercreep the ridgy sand, Or tap the tarry boat with gentle blow, And back return in silence, smooth and slow. Ships in the calm seem anchor'd; for they glide On the still sea, urged solely by the tide ; Art thou not present, this calm scene before, Where all beside is pebbly length of shore, And far as eye can reach, it can discern no more ? Yet sometimes...
Pagina 3 - COMB back, come back together, All ye fancies of the past, Ye days of April weather, Ye shadows that are cast By the haunted hours before ! Come back, come back, my childhood ; Thou art summoned by a spell From the green leaves of the wild wood, From beside the charmed well ! For Red Riding Hood, the darling, — The flower of fairy lore.
Pagina 24 - Responsive at the priest's command. — Now, streaming down the vaulted aisle, The sunbeam, long and lone, Illumes the characters awhile Of their inscription stone ; And there, in marble hard and cold, The knight and all his train behold.
Pagina 12 - The voluntary outpouring of the public feeling, made to-day, from the North to the South, and from the East to the West, proves this sentiment to be both just and natural.
Pagina 12 - High on the masts, with pale and livid rays, Amid the gloom portentous meteors blaze. Th' ethereal dome, in mournful pomp array'd, Now lurks behind impenetrable shade ; Now, flashing round intolerable light, Redoubles all the terrors of the night. Such terror Sinai's quaking hill o'erspread, When Heaven's loud trumpet sounded o'er its head.
Pagina 23 - Lift the fair sail, and cheat th' experienced eye. Be it the summer-noon : a sandy space The ebbing tide has left upon its place; Then, just the hot and stony beach above, Light twinkling streams in bright confusion move (For heated thus, the warmer air ascends, And with the cooler in its fall contends) ; Then the broad bosom of the ocean keeps An equal motion, swelling as it sleeps, Then slowly sinking; curling to the strand, Faint, lazy waves...
