Trang 377 - Do ye hear the children weeping, O my brothers, Ere the sorrow comes with years? They are leaning their young heads against their mothers, And that cannot stop their tears. The young lambs are bleating in the meadows, The young birds are chirping in the nest, The young fawns are playing with the shadows, The young flowers are blowing toward the west — But the young, young children, O my brothers, They are weeping bitterly! They are weeping in the playtime of the others, In the country of the free.

Trang 301 - Nor brewers' beer, for that we fear, And cider, too, will never do ; To quench our thirst we'll always bring Cold water from the well or spring. So here we pledge perpetual hate To all that can intoxicate.
Trang 425 - ... young people. No one could have been worse adapted by nature for the task of learning whether a nation was in a way to thrive. Whatever she saw she judged, as most women do, from her own standing-point. If a thing were ugly to her eyes, it ought to be ugly to all eyes, — and if ugly, it must be bad. What though people had plenty to eat and clothes to wear, if they put their feet upon the tables and did not reverence their betters ? The Americans were to her rough, uncouth, and vulgar, — and...
Trang 425 - No observer was certainly ever less qualified to judge of the prospects or even of the happiness of a young people.
